▼ Abstract of “Effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Response Inhibition in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder” by Justine E.K. Centeno, Sc.M., Brown University, May 2018 Background: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is characterized as a neuropsychiatric condition marked by the presence of obsessions and/or compulsions. Both the personal and external burden of the disease is tremendous and largely impactful, with approximately 1/3 of OCD patients unable to work due to their condition. Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation method in which a weak current is applied to the brain inducing a local and peripheral neuronal change. Prior studies have shown that tDCS may improve OCD symptomatology. Response inhibition is defined as a person’s ability to inhibit an initiated response and is most commonly measured using the Stop-signal Task (SST). OCD patients have been shown to have impairments in response inhibition, measured by the variable, the Stop-signal Reaction Time (SSRT). In this study, we investigated the effects of tDCS on response inhibition in OCD. Methods: Eleven OCD and eleven healthy controls (HC) were included in this study. The OCD and HC groups underwent a baseline assessment and MRI. The OCD group then completed 10-20 tDCS sessions of cathodal tDCS to the pSMA/dACC and anodal stimulation to the right cheek, succeeded by a follow-up assessment and MRI. Results: There was no statistically significant different in SSRT between OCD participants and HC at baseline, or pre- vs. post-tDCS in OCD participants. There was also no correlation between change in SSRT and clinical outcomes. Conclusion: Our results differed from prior literature, which has demonstrated that SSRT is impaired in OCD patients. Our findings indicate that response inhibition, as measured by the SSRT, may not be central to OCD expression. For the future, analysis of fMRI data in a larger randomized double-blinded study may be useful.

▼ The inference-based approach (IBA) has proposed a cognitive model to explain the aetiology and maintenance of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). According to this model, specified reasoning processes lead an individual with OCD to confuse an imagined possibility with an actual probability, a state termed inferential confusion. These reasoning processes include inverse reasoning, in which hypothetical causes form the basis of conclusions about reality, and distrust in one's senses. Empirical evidence for the IBA and these reasoning processes is emerging but has been limited to self-report measures, which do not allow causal inferences. Thus the overarching aim of the current thesis was to explore the role of these reasoning processes in OCD using different methodological strategies, particularly experimental designs. In Study 1, I developed a task-based measure of inverse reasoning and found that performance on this task was associated with OCD symptoms in a large online sample. In Study 2, I used an interpretive cognitive bias modification procedure to train a bias towards inverse reasoning in an undergraduate sample. I found that those trained in inverse reasoning, compared to a control condition, reported more OCD symptoms and were more avoidant of potentially contaminated objects. In Studies 3 and 4, I attempted to replicate and extend previous research suggesting that the distrust of one's senses in OCD may stem from an actual deficit in accessing sensory information. There was insufficient evidence for a clinically significant deficit in OCD when accessing sensory information to accurately produce levels of grip strength and distance judgements. In Study 5, I explored the relationship between the ease of imagining a future situation and the perceived likelihood of this situation in a clinical OCD population. In this thesis I have presented a series of studies that have facilitated significant progress towards our understanding of the role of maladaptive reasoning processes and related processes in OCD. In conclusion, research into these mechanisms warrants continued attention in order to develop and refine techniques for clinical practice that effectively target these processes and reduce the debilitating effects of OCD.

▼ Large-scale investigations of structural models of psychopathology have identified several overarching factors that account for comorbidity among psychiatric syndromes: Internalizing, Externalizing, and Oddity/Psychoticism. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is often excluded from these investigations. When it has been included, its placement in structural models of psychopathology is ambiguous; in some cases it has been a marker of Internalizing, the Internalizing subfactor Fear, and Oddity/Psychoticism. In DSM-5, OCD is newly classified in the Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders (OCRDs) chapter, along with body dysmorphic disorder, hoarding disorder, hair pulling disorder, and skin picking disorder. Because these disorders have not been included in previous structural models, OCD’s relative relation to the OCRDs, psychoticism/oddity symptoms, and anxiety disorder symptoms is unknown. The goals of the present analysis were to (a) examine the integrity of the OCRD category in structural models of psychopathology, (b) assess OCD’s fit as an Internalizing, Oddity, and OCRD disorder, and © examine psychopathology structure at the symptom dimension level to examine the effects of specific symptoms on OCD’s relations to other syndromes. Structural analysis identified five overarching factors: Distress, Fear, Externalizing, Oddity/OCRD, and Eating Disorder. The results provided partial support for an OCRD category, however were suggestive of an overlap between OCRD and Oddity syndromes. Furthermore, several OCRDs did not fit optimally within the OCRD factor; rather, BDD loaded with Distress and Illness Anxiety with Fear. Comparison of OCD’s fit among these factors suggested that OCD’s relation to other psychopathology is complex and multifaceted: OCD loaded with both Oddity/OCRD and Fear. Symptom-level analyses shed light on these results, indicating that OCD cleaning symptoms are related to specific phobias, whereas checking/ordering, obsessing, and neutralizing were more strongly related to Oddity/OCRD diagnoses. These results have important clinical and theoretical implications. First, this analysis informs future revisions of the DSM and suggests that the overlap between Oddity and OCRD should be reflected. Second, assessment of symptom dimensions will aid clinicians and researchers in understanding differential underlying mechanisms of mental illness. Finally, results call into question the theoretical underpinnings of the OCRD category and suggest the need to identify broader underlying mechanisms for observed comorbidity.

▼ For over half a century, researchers and practitioners have documented the statistical comorbidity and overlapping symptom presentation between eating disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Recent research by the Obsessive-Compulsive Cognitions Working Group (OCCWG) has identified cognitive dimensions salient to OCD, which has prompted researchers to investigate the incidence of obsessive-compulsive cognitions among eating disorder populations. Six beliefs have been identified by the OCCWG, including overestimation of threat, inflated responsibility, perfectionism, intolerance of uncertainty, importance of thoughts, and the need to control thoughts. The aim of the current research was to extend current literature and examine the overlapping and distinguishable features of eating disorders and OCD, placing particular emphasis on cognitions. Obsessive beliefs identified by the OCCWG were compared across diagnostic groups (e.g., eating disorders, OCD, depression) and a community control group. In addressing whether obsessive beliefs among women with eating disorders are specific to the domains of eating, shape, and weight, a new measure was developed. This measure was based on self-report assessments developed by the OCCWG, however in the newly developed measure, items were tailored specifically to the domains of eating, body shape, and weight. Eating and anxiety disorder clinics and associations throughout Australia (e.g., The Bronte Centre at St. Vincentâ€™s, the Oak House, the Eating Disorders Foundation of Victoria, and the Anxiety Disorders Association of Victoria) assisted with recruitment for this research. A total sample of 1207 Australian women, aged between 18 and 69 years, was recruited to participate. Participants incorporated both a community and clinical sample, with the clinical sample consisting of 100 women with an eating disorder, 21 with OCD, and 49 with depression. Women with a self-reported history of other Axis I and Axis II DSM-IV disorders were also recruited, however insufficient samples were available to form clinical comparison groups for these forms of psychopathology. Each participant completed a questionnaire package containing a series of self-report measures of eating disorder and OCD symptomatology, obsessive beliefs, self-esteem, body checking behaviours and cognitions, and general symptoms of depression and anxiety. Findings of this research are presented across four studies. The first study examined the overlap between eating disorder and obsessive-compulsive symptomatology, with a focus on differences in symptoms across diagnostic categories and whether eating disorder symptoms are associated with subtypes of obsessions or compulsive behaviour. Results indicated that higher scores on a measure of eating pathology were associated with elevated obsessive-compulsive symptoms, particularly on the checking, ordering, obsession, hoarding and mental neutralisation symptom domains of OCD. Findings also revealed that the higher the frequency of disordered eating behaviour, the…

▼ This dissertation comprises three studies that investigated the construct of hedging as a decision making strategy in individuals with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Hedging refers to the tendency to keep options available when there is a threat of loss of the options that is motivated by the underlying construct of loss aversion (i.e., Prospect Theory). Hedging introduces a behavioural economic approach to the study and understanding of the impact of loss aversion on decision making. Participants played two conditions of the Doors Game (Shin & Ariely, 2004) in which they were instructed to maximize their earnings by tapping three doors in any order: i) constant availability (CA), where all doors remain available; and ii) decreasing availability (DA), where doors fade and disappear if left untapped after a short time (to elicit hedging). In Study One, undergraduates (N = 108) played both the CA and DA conditions and evidence indicates more frequent switching in the DA than the CA condition. There was also a significant negative association between hedging and the cognitive concern subscale of anxiety sensitivity. Study Two examined other psychological correlates of hedging in another undergraduate sample (N = 63) and yielded significant negative associations with the physical component of state anxiety and experience seeking. In Study Three, the results of a comparison of hedging among OCD, Gambling Disorder (GD), and Healthy Control (HC) groups yielded no significant differences. Correlates of hedging, however, differed among the groups and regression analyses suggest that hedging in OCD is negatively predicted by obsessiveness and decisiveness (subscale of the Need for Cognitive Closure; NFC), and positively predicted by experience seeking (subscale of the Sensation Seeking Scale). In the GD group, closed-mindedness (subscale of NFC) positively predicted hedging. In the HC group, fun-seeking (subscale of Behavioral Inhibition and Behavioral Activation Scale) positively predicted hedging. Implications: This work is the first to demonstrate predictors of hedging in OCD using a loss aversion paradigm where evidence suggests that obsessional and motivational drives lead to premature choice selection. Pursuing the loss aversion perspective could significantly advance the decision making research in OCD and in other clinical populations.

▼ Context maintenance, an aspect of cognitive control, is the internal representation and utilization of task-relevant information that helps achieve task goals. Alterations in context maintenance may be responsible for the cognitive difficulties seen in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). We used two tasks designed to measure context maintenance: a) the cued-Stroop, a single-trial version of Golden’s Stroop test that varies the cue for each trial (color-naming or word-reading), and b) the AX-CPT task, a continuous performance task that has participants respond to an “A” only when followed by an “X,” with all other non-target trials labeled as AY, BX, and BY (and “Y” and “B” representing all non-X and non-A letters, respectively). Participants included 31 people with OCD and 30 psychiatrically-healthy controls that completed a neuropsychological test battery, self-report questionnaires measuring mood and symptom severity, and the computerized cued-Stroop and AX-CPT tasks. There was a 1s or 5s delay between the cue and probe for both tasks so as to vary the duration of context maintenance. We conducted a 2 (Group) x 2 (Delay) x 3 (Trial Type) repeated measures ANOVA for the cued-Stroop and a 2 (Group) x 2 (Delay) x 4 (Trial Type) repeated measures ANOVA for the AX-CPT. Dependent measures included median reaction times (RT) and mean error rates (ER). Both groups showed a congruency effect for the cued-Stroop, with slower RTs and greater ERs for the incongruent trials than the neutral and congruent trials, as well as lower ERs for BY trials compared to BX and AY trials of the AX-CPT task. There were no significant differences in RTs or ERs between groups for delay or condition for the cued-Stroop (ps > .45) or for the AX-CPT (ps > .07). The present study shows that people with OCD did not show deficits in context maintenance in two separate tasks. Limitations include low power, higher functioning participants with OCD, and the presence of comorbid depression and anxiety in some participants with OCD.

▼ The Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) is considered the “gold standard” for measuring symptoms for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) due to the high reliability and validity of the measure. Originally, the Y-BOCS was divided into Obsessive and Compulsive factors; however, literature on the factor structure of the Y-BOCS is inconsistent. Models range from one global factor to different interpretations of bi-factor models to three-factor models. Inconsistencies between models may be attributed to sampling error, including participants with subclinical OCD in some samples, and measurement error. In addition, many researchers treat the Y-BOCS measurement as an interval or ratio scale when it likely reflects ordinal measurement. Our paper has two primary aims. First, we compare the fit of the models proposed in the literature using a large sample from multiple sites of patients diagnosed with OCD. We also evaluate how the models can be improved and whether those improvements show evidence for convergent validity. We treat the Y-BOCS observations as ordinal data. Second, we evaluate measurement and structural invariance between genders. Additionally, we examine convergent validity of the factor structure of the best fitting model with subscales of the OCI-R. Data from five separate samples were combined into one dataset with 288 total participants all formally diagnosed with OCD. We selected several Y-BOCS factor models from the literature and used confirmatory factor analysis to evaluate goodness of fit indices on our pooled sample. Only one model approached acceptable goodness of fit indices. We considered the factors in this model and proposed a new factor model with a global factor (OCD) and two sub-factors (Obsessions and Resistance to Symptoms). Our model exhibited the highest goodness of fit indices which we further improved with modifications to our factor model. On invariance analyses, our model exhibited measurement invariance between genders and partial structural invariance. Additionally, the latent factors of our model exhibited convergent validity with all of the OCI-R subscales (except Ordering). Our model exhibited stronger goodness of fit indices with our data than existing models in the Y-BOCS literature and measurement invariance and partial structural invariance between genders. We recommend that future studies replicate the efficacy of our factor model using the Y-BOCS as an ordinal measurement.

▼ A series of three studies was conducted to develop and validate primes to activate negative, positive, or neutral beliefs about God and to determine how these activated beliefs impact scrupulosity signs and symptoms. Scrupulosity is a specific presentation of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in which individuals become preoccupied and distressed by intrusive thoughts and images related to religious issues. Individuals with more severe scrupulosity often have more negative beliefs about God. Christianity conceptualizes God in both positive (e.g., loving, caring, and helpful) and negative (e.g., angry, judgmental, and wrathful) terms. It is therefore important to determine how more positive, negative, or neutral beliefs about God influence scrupulosity symptoms in order to improve treatment efficacy for scrupulosity. In Study 1, potential primes were created from Bible verses and rated on arousal, valence, familiarity, and complexity by participants self-identifying as Christian. In Study 2, the selected positive, negative, and neutral primes were tested to determine if they differentially activated positive and negative beliefs about God. Results indicated that participants in the negative prime condition had more negative and less positive beliefs about God than participants in the positive and neutral prime condition. In Study 3, Christian participants read one of the three primes described above. Next, participants completed a thought-induction task and measures of thought-action fusion and scrupulosity. There were no significant differences in reactions to the thought-induction task or self-report measures of scrupulosity or thought-action fusion between conditions. However, participants in the negative condition had significantly higher state anxiety following the prime, compared to participants in the positive condition. Results demonstrate the ability of the negative prime to activate negative beliefs about God and highlight the detrimental impact negative beliefs about God may have on state anxiety.

▼ Numerous studies have shown that anxious people produce larger Error-Related Negativity (ERN) than non-anxious people when making mistakes. However, this enhancement was not observed in several recent studies in people with Obsessive-Compulsive (OC) symptoms during tasks that require the trial and error learning of stimulus-response relationships. The present set of experiments explore the hypothesis that people with OC symptoms are uncertain that they have correctly learned the stimulus-response mappings in these tasks. This uncertainty results in producing a smaller ERN than they otherwise might in a more straight-forward and more commonly used response conflict task. Additionally, the present experiments explore whether worriers, who have been shown to have enhanced ERNs on response conflict tasks, show the same decreased ERN during learning tasks as people with OC symptoms. The results of Experiment 1 revealed that people with OC symptoms produce smaller ERNs during a learning task than during a typical response conflict task. No difference in ERN amplitude, however, was found for worriers. Additionally, only the participants with OC symptoms reported less cognitive confidence and more uncertainty about their responses during the learning task than during the response conflict task. Experiment 2 aimed to increase feelings of uncertainty about the task performance in non-anxious people and Experiment 3 aimed to decrease uncertainty about task performance in participants with OC symptoms. However, both of these manipulations were unsuccessful. Overall, the findings from these three studies provide only modest support for the hypothesis that participants with OC symptoms feel more uncertain about the accuracy of their responses during learning tasks and there is no support for the hypothesis that their uncertainty is related to smaller ERNs. It should be noted that this effect appears to be specific to people with OC symptoms and does not generalize to people with anxiety more broadly. Advisors/Committee Members: Simons, Robert F..

My interpretation of equivalence contains characteristics that arguably align with common emotions of control and doubt, inflated sense of responsibility and fear of disaster, which, I suggest are accessible to an audience other than myself. As such, my artwork proposes that a viewer can experience my equivalence to some degree. I refer to writer David Batchelor's (1997) definition of equivalence as a starting point for this research, and question how my OCD reveals itself through memory and perception, by referring to Richard Shusterman's ideas regarding somaesthetic reflection (2008), Bergson's description of the structure of memory (2004), Paul Ricouer's link between memory and imagination (2006) and Gilles Deleuze's ideas regarding difference and repetition (2013). I also refer to theoretician Estelle Barrett and her ideas regarding “situated knowledge” (2010: 4-5) as a way to frame the subjective and personal nature of my artistic enquiry, regarding my equivalence of OCD. Within this thesis I place emphasis on art practice as a method of research and describe the processes I have used to explore my OCD and make manifest my equivalence. I refer to Clare Bishop’s (2005) phenomenological description of installation art and mimetic engulfment within this process as I consider them methods to reveal my equivalence, by making manifest the relationship between my memory and my perception, both of which are embodied experiences within my OCD. I discuss Ross G. Menzies and Padmal de Silva’s (2004) clinical definitions and descriptions of obsession, compulsion, memory deficit and checking, in addition to phenomenological and pragmatic ideas, regarding memory and perception, as a way to articulate my proposition that equivalence of my OCD is constructed of a interdependent relationship between two embodied experiences, which can be revealed through art practice. My research contributes to new knowledge as it suggests a new way of understanding OCD by employing a multi-disciplined approach to practice-led research.

▼ Forty percent of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) patients fail to respond to any kind of treatment. Developing novel therapies for OCD—the aim of this thesis—therefore represents an urgent unmet need. Study 1 examined vicarious contamination sensations and relief in OCD. Study 2 explored the therapeutic utility of the “rubber hand illusion” (RHI) and multisensory processing in OCD. Study 3 tested two novel smartphone interventions in subclinical OCD. In Study 1, OCD patients (n = 29) reported greater contamination sensations when watching the experimenter contaminating himself than healthy volunteers (n = 34). But more notably, patients, upon first contaminating themselves, reported significant disgust reductions by watching the experimenter washing his own hands, relative to control conditions (unlike anxiety and washing urges); and displayed a (nonsignificant) tendency towards disgust reductions during vicarious handwashing relative to control conditions, compared to healthy volunteers. Finally, an exploratory analysis found that patients with moderate symptoms, unlike severe patients, reported greater reductions in disgust and handwashing urges from vicarious handwashing relative to control conditions, compared to healthy controls. In Study 2, in patients with OCD (n = 27) “dummy contamination” during the RHI resulted in greater contamination reactions than the control (contrary to expectations, after the fake hand had been contaminated for 5 min.); assessed via disgust facial expressions and in vivo exposure. Surprisingly, patients failed to reject the RHI during the “gold-standard” control condition. In Study 3, subclinical individuals (n = 93) either watched a video recording of themselves: engaging in handwashing (intervention 1), touching a disgust-inducing object (intervention 2), or performing sequential hand movements (control), on a smartphone four times a day, for one week. As hypothesized, the two interventions, unlike the control, improved OCD symptoms and cognitive flexibility. These studies demonstrate, for the first time, vicarious contamination sensations and relief in OCD; suggest sensory assimilation of contamination sensations into the body image via the RHI and show aberrant self-referential processing in OCD. Finally, two novel smartphone interventions improved OCD symptoms and cognitive function, after only one week in subclinical individuals. Taken together, these results have important clinical implications for the treatment of OCD.

▼ In obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), negative misinterpretations of ambiguous everyday scenarios drive anxiety and compulsive behaviours. Existing cognitive-behavioural treatments for OCD lead to some change in these unhelpful interpretations, but improvement is needed. The overarching aim of the current thesis was to explore OC-relevant negative interpretive biases (including beliefs about memory, certainty, and perfectionism) that may be amenable to change with novel cognitive bias modification procedures (e.g., Clerkin & Teachman, 2011). In Study 1, I conducted a large exploratory study with an online sample to explore the specific relationships between obsessive-compulsive symptoms and maladaptive obsessive-compulsive beliefs. In Study 2, I investigated how maladaptive beliefs about checking and memory may influence interpretive biases and checking behaviours in a laboratory study comparing undergraduate participants who scored high or low on checking symptoms. In Study 3, I found that both positive cognitive bias modification for interpretation (CBM-I) training and half-positive/half-negative neutral CBM training led to small improvements in responses in a selected undergraduate sample. In Study 4, I directly compared alternative control conditions that may be useful in CBM-I research in a small pilot study. A control condition employing neutral ending scenarios produced the smallest change in bias and was employed in the final two studies. In Study 5, CBM training with an imagery induction did not appear to enhance training efficacy in a laboratory study, although there was some advantage of positive compared to neutral training. In Study 6, both positive and neutral CBM-I training produced small changes in interpretive biases in participants diagnosed with OCD, and this effect was strongly affected by individual preference for using imagery. There were some changes on uncertainty and perfectionism behaviours, but none on an idiosyncratic measure. In this thesis I have presented a series of studies that represent an incremental but significant progression in our knowledge of maladaptive biases in OCD and the development of CBM-I procedures that may modify them. In conclusion, research on CBM-I for OCD warrants continued empirical attention using multi-method assessment techniques, in order to help translate this procedure from the laboratory into clinical practice to reduce the burden of OCD.

▼ The purpose of this thesis was to investigate a specific cognitive theory of obsessions; namely, that unwanted and repugnant intrusive thoughts cause distress and persist when the person interprets their occurrence as highly personally significant and important. Two studies were conducted. In the first study, we described the development and undertook a validation study of a new scale of obsessional-compulsive symptoms, the Vancouver Obsessional Compulsive Inventory (VOCI). This measure was a necessary first step because established measures of obsessional-compulsive symptoms are inadequate in their assessment of a number of domains of obsessional-compulsive complaints, particularly obsessions. Our findings in samples of people with obsessivecompulsive disorder (OCD), people with other anxiety disorders or depression, community adults, and undergraduate students suggest that the VOCI is a promising new measure. In the second study, we investigated the role of interpretations of the personal significance and importance of intrusive thoughts in the occurrence of obsessions. Specifically, we hypothesized that people who have repugnant obsessions or frequent, distressing intrusive thoughts would interpret their intrusive thoughts as highly personally significant and important. Our hypotheses were, in general, supported. There was a clear relationship between beliefs and interpretations of the importance of thoughts and obsessions in both OCD and nonclinical samples. In addition, these beliefs and appraisals appeared to be specifically related to repugnant obsessions, rather than obsessive-compulsive complaints in general. This research represents one of the first attempts to evaluate the assertion that misinterpretations of intrusive thoughts are fundamental in the experience of obsessions. The development of the VOCI was a necessary first step in evaluating the relationship between interpretations of personal significance and particular obsessional-compulsive complaints. By demonstrating specific interpretations that are associated with clinical obsessions, we hope to refine cognitive-behavioural models of obsessions, and suggest ways in which current cognitive-behaviour therapy for obsessions can be sharpened and made more effective.
