Increased decision thresholds enhance information gathering performance in juvenile Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Fig 2
Performance differences in information gathering.
Adolescents with OCD won significantly more points than controls across the entire task. This was mainly driven by an increase in points won during the decreasing condition (A). OCD patients opened significantly more boxes (B), but did not differ in performance accuracy (C; accuracy defined as the proportion of choices of the colour that was in the majority of currently opened cards). (D) Total draws to decision correlated significantly with self-reported general indecisiveness in OCD patients, linking task behavior to real-world perceived difficulties. *** p< = .001, ** p < .01, * p < .05, t p < .10.
