Neuropsychological Correlates for Obsessive Slowness.

ABSTRACT

Aim: To assess the cognitive functioning of a group of patients with OCD and a group of matched normal controls. Method: Patients of OCD were screened for selection criteria. They were assessed on Wisconson Card Sorting Test (WCST) and Continuous Performance Test (CPT) for neuro-cognitive impairments and compared the same with matched controls. Conclusions: On WCST, clinical group performed poorly, which is statistically significant. On CPT, the patient groups made significantly more wrong responses, more missed responses and took more time to respond, which is statistically significant.
