Classical conditioning in a nonclinical obsessive-compulsive population

Article Abstract:

Two experiments were conducted to examine the hypothesis that people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) should show accelerated associative conditioning compared with normal control samples. A comparison of the classical eyeblink conditioning of control and OCD-like college students was carried out. Results indicate that OCD samples learned substantially faster than the normal control students and that background task affected conditioning.
