Аннотация:Introduction: The cognitive rigidity, preoccupation with details, need for control are the main characteristics of cognitive impairment in patients with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD). The degree of severity of these impairments can vary depending on different factors, including, in particular, characteristics of stimulus material.
Objectives: to research the performance of verbal and non-verbal tasks in patients with OCPD.
Methods: Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, a revised form (WAIS-R). 33 patients with OCPD and 102 healthy individuals were enrolled to the study. Patients and healthy controls had an equivalent educational level. Statistical significance was ascertained by Mann-Whitney U-test.
Results: Patients with OCPD demonstrated decreases in the Performance (p = 0.003) and the Full Scale IQ (p = 0.004), the Digit span (p = 0.008), the Picture completion (p = 0.0001) and the Block design (p = 0.001) subtests. Reduction in the verbal subtest was associated with a shift in patients' attention from tasks instruction to thoughts of failure, strengthening of doubts of one's own performance. The diminishment of productivity in non-verbal subtests was associated with preoccupation with details that led to a long time for the right answers, which went beyond the time allocated to each item, detailed analysis of parts with difficulties in their synthesis in the whole, impossibility of revising of the work method, doubts about tasks precision often with the reversal of correct answers.
Conclusions: Cognitive functioning in OCPD lines up with most of normative indicators in performance of verbal tasks and decreases in the case of non-verbal tasks.
