“…Behavioral performances were similar to those previously described [13] and are presented in table 2. Two patients performed no checking; they were, therefore, excluded from regression analyses because the RTI was not available for them.…”

“…We monitored the number of successful trials, the number of verifications, and the response time for choice-making during trials, which did or did not lead to checking behavior. As previously reported [13], the response time for decision-making was expected to be longer when followed by a checking behavior than when not followed by a checking behavior, because checking behavior was assumed to be a marker of uncertainty during decision-making. We calculated a response time index (RTI) defined by the difference between the response times for decision-making when followed by a checking behavior and when not followed by a checking behavior.…”

“…After a 3.5-second interval, the subject had access to the subsequent screen displaying a second image, which was compared with the initial image by pressing the left or right button corresponding to the choice ‘right’ (R) or ‘wrong’ (W) when the two images appeared to be identical or different, respectively (choice phase). Thereafter, the subject had two courses of action available: (a) to check the choice made by pressing the left button corresponding to the two left arrows, offering the opportunity to return to the study phase to review the sample image before participating again in the choice phase, or (b) to validate the choice made by pressing the right button corresponding to the two right arrows, leading to the appearance of a signal indicating a correct (yes) or incorrect (no) response (evaluation phase) at the end of the trial (with permission from Rotge et al [13]). …”

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the levels of insight and checking-related uncertainty in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Sampling and Methods: Twenty OCD patients with checking compulsions and without current comorbidity were recruited. We used an experimental paradigm that gave subjects the opportunity to check during a decision-making task, thereby allowing for the calculation of a response time index (RTI) as the ‘uncertainty cost’ during decision-making. The level of insight was assessed with the Brown Assessment of Beliefs Scale (BABS). Results: Regression analyses indicated a significant positive correlation between RTI and BABS scores (r = 0.49). Conclusions: The level of insight is related to cognitive characteristics underlying OCD symptoms, in particular, checking-related uncertainty in checking OCD patients. Study Limitations: The absence of a comparison group and the low number of included patients are the main limitations of the present study.

Intolerance of uncertainty (IU) is proposed to be a transdiagnostic causal mechanism of psychological difficulties. The systematic review sought to evaluate the status of evidence pertaining to IU's proposed causal influence upon symptoms of psychological conditions. The review collated evidence from studies involving experimental manipulation and assessment of temporal precedence to ensure direct assessment of causality. The search strategy and eligibility screening identified 12 articles, detailing 15 eligible studies (experimental manipulations: n = 10; temporal precedence studies: n = 5). Available evidence comprised symptoms of anxiety-and mood-related conditions, including obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The greatest support for IU as a causal mechanism was evident for anxiety-related difficulties and, to a lesser extent, negative affect; limited support was found for OCD-related difficulties. However, notable inconsistency across study findings for all difficulty types precludes absolute conclusions. Implications and recommendations are discussed.
