چکیده (انگلیسی):

For over a quarter century, a substantial body of literature investigating neuropsychological test
performance in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has yielded inconsistent results. Thus, it has been
continuously challenging to draw conclusions regarding an OCD-specific neuropsychological profile. In
this comprehensive review of the neuropsychological literature in OCD, we critically review neuropsychological
test performance by domain, as well as potential moderators of neuropsychological functions,
proposed endophenotypes, neuropsychological predictors of treatment response, and contemporary
controversies in the field. Previous qualitative/systematic reviews of this body of literature have
repeatedly noted its inconsistency, concluding that more research is needed. Unfortunately, the
accumulation of neuropsychological research is OCD has not yet promoted our ability to draw
conclusions about a distinct neuropsychological profile of OCD. Thus, we conclude this review with
novel suggestions for future investigations
