Remediating cognitive inflexibility in obsessive compulsive disorder and anorexia nervosa neither moderates nor mediates treatment effects: an exploratory study by Boris van Passel, Boris van Passel, Unna N. Danner, Unna N. Danner, Alexandra E. Dingemans, Theo G. Broekman, Lot C. Sternheim, Lot C. Sternheim, Eni S. Becker, Annemarie A. van Elburg, Annemarie A. van Elburg, Eric F. van Furth, Eric F. van Furth, Gert-Jan Hendriks, Gert-Jan Hendriks, Gert-Jan Hendriks, Daniëlle C. Cath, Daniëlle C. Cath

“…Cognitive flexibility was evaluated through the Trail Making Test (TMT), the Color-Word Interference Test (CWIT) and the Detail and Flexibility Questionnaire (DFlex).ResultsLevels of cognitive flexibility at baseline did not predict or moderate treatment outcome, nor did change in cognitive flexibility (baseline post-CRT/SAT) mediate treatment outcome, with CRT providing no greater improvement in measures of cognitive flexibility than SAT.ConclusionsThis study failed to find any relationship between measures of cognitive flexibility and treatment outcome in OCD and AN, and thus questions hypothetical associations between measures of cognitive flexibility and mechanisms of change in patients with OCD and AN.…”
