Roles of Memory, Memory Confidence and Feeling of Knowing Judgments in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the present study was to investigate roles of differential memory profiles, memory confidence and metacognitive judgments in patients with obsessive compulsive disorder. Thirty-three individuals participated in the study: 11 patients with obsessive compulsive disorder, 11 individuals with subclinical obsessive compulsive symptoms and 11 healthy controls. Participants’ three different memory performances namely episodic memory, visuo-spatial memory, and working memory and the memory confidence and feeling-of-knowing judgments under episodic memory task were measured. Patients with obsessive compulsive disorder showed lower performance and slower reaction times in all memory tasks than both subclinical and healthy controls. Also compared to other groups, patients with obsessive compulsive disorder had less confidence on their own memory, less confidence on their future memory performance, and low feeling-of-knowing judgments. These results indicated that reaction time, memory confidence, and metacognitive judgments provide better information about the memory impairments in obsessive compulsive disorder rather than general memory performance.
