Memory Functions in Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder by Riccardo Gurrieri, Matteo Gambini, Elena Pescini, Diletta Mastrogiacomo, Gerardo Russomanno, Donatella Marazziti

“…Although memory dysfunction has been proposed as a contributing factor to the onset and maintenance of OCD symptoms, it remains debated whether these deficits reflect genuine cognitive impairments or maladaptive metacognitive processes, such as pathological doubt and memory distrust. This review aims to synthesize current findings on memory functioning in OCD, focusing on distinct memory systems and the role of metacognition. …”
