Action inhibition in individuals with high obsessive-compulsive trait of incompleteness: An ERP study

A comparison of ‘not just right experiences’ in obsessive–compulsive disorder, anxiety and depressive disorders and non‐clinical controls in China

“…If future research confirms the key role of NJREs in OCD, this may result in changes in the treatment of the condition. Future studies to investigate the neural mechanisms of NJREs using tools such as EEG or MRI are therefore worthwhile (Brown et al, 2019; Dominke et al, 2021). OCD with NJREs may have specific neural pathways, and future treatments for NJREs may attempt to specifically target functioning of the brain.…”

“…Like NJREs, pathological doubt or uncertainty also seems to be present across multiple symptom dimensions of OCD. Pathological doubt impairs decision-making ability (Nistico et al, 2021), and NJREs may underlie maladaptive action repetition and impaired inhibitory control in OCD (Dominke et al, 2021), reflecting neurocognitive deficits in OCD.…”

Pathological doubt impairs decision‐making ability (Nistico et al, 2021), and NJREs may underlie maladaptive action repetition and impaired inhibitory control in OCD (Dominke et al, 2021), reflecting neurocognitive deficits in OCD. Several studies have shown that NJREs may play a mediating role between other psychological constructs (e.g., maladaptive perfectionism, intolerance of uncertainty and guilt) and OC symptoms (Bottesi et al, 2017; Mancini et al, 2008; Moretz & McKay, 2009).…”
