Lower confidence and increased error sensitivity in OCD patients while learning under volatility.

ABSTRACT: A decoupling between confidence and action could relate to compulsive behaviour as seen in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The link between confidence and action in OCD has been investigated in clinical case-control studies and in the general population with discrepant findings. The generalizability of findings from highly-compulsive general population samples to clinical OCD samples has been questioned. Here, we investigate action-confidence coupling for 38 OCD patients compared to 37 healthy controls (HC), using a predictive inference task. We compared those results to a comparison between matched high and low compulsive individuals from the general population. Action-updating, confidence and their coupling were compared between the groups. Moreover, computational modeling was perfo
