We’re excited to share that our recent publication, “Individual differences in probabilistic learning and updating predictive representations in individuals with obsessive-compulsive tendencies,” has been highlighted by Scienmag online! Their coverage emphasizes the study’s intriguing findings that individuals with higher obsessive-compulsive tendencies demonstrated consistent performance and adaptability in probabilistic learning tasks. Contrary to some previous assumptions, the research suggests that these individuals may possess unique cognitive strategies that actually enhance their ability to learn in uncertain environments, offering new perspectives for both clinical psychology and cognitive neuroscience.
