Initial Questions
• Does the clinical group look different than controls on the task?
• Does the OCD group have deficits on the task?
• Do clinical traits correlate with each other?
• Do clinical traits correlate with specific task dimensions?
• In all participants? In just the OCD group? Other disorders?
Are clinical and control groups different?
Initial Questions
• Does the clinical group look different than controls on the task?
• Yes higher RT at position 1, marginal grp:pos in ER
• Does the OCD group have deficits on the task?
• Do clinical traits correlate with each other?
• Do clinical traits correlate with specific task dimensions?
• In all participants? In just the OCD group? Other disorders?

• Yes higher RT at position 1, marginal grp:pos in ER
• Does the OCD group have deficits on the task?
• Yes, marginal effects. Other groups have distinct deficits
• Do clinical traits correlate with each other?
• Yes, in the clinical group INC scores more with each other and HA scores
more with each other
• Do clinical traits correlate with specific task dimensions?
• Yes, incompleteness scores more with RT effects
• More correlation with “sequence specific” effects in RT
• OCD specific correlations in RT and ER
Future Directions and Questions
• Other relationships like OCTCDQ_IN/overall RT in OCD?
• Explore more clinical measures
• Analyze other task dimensions in the ANOVAs
• Compare performance on task by diagnosis?
• Group diagnoses by further clinical interest?
• More precise distinctions for clinical groups?
