Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

the comparison of attentional bias for ocd-related stimuli in individuals with and without ocd

abstract introduction. previous research has led to conflicting findings on whether patients with subclinical or clinical obsessive compulsive disorder (ocd) share an attentional bias for stimulies that are related to their current concerns, a finding that has been observed in other anxiety disorders. objectives. the present study aimed to determine whether there was a difference in attentional...

Memory bias in patients with hypochondriasis and somatoform pain disorder.

OBJECTIVE A memory bias enhances memory for disorder congruent information. The experimental evaluation of such biases in somatoform disorders may improve our understanding of these disorders. METHOD Immediate and delayed free recall as well as recognition for positive, negative, pain, and neutral word stimuli were studied in 28 patients with somatoform disorders (hypochondriasis and/or pain ...

Enhanced perceived responsibility decreases metamemory but not memory accuracy in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

Mixed findings have been obtained in prior research with respect to the presence and severity of memory and metamemory deficits in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). We tested the hypothesis that experimentally induced increments of subjective responsibility would lead to a disproportionately strong decline of memory confidence and enhanced response latencies in OCD while leaving memory accur...
