Abstract
This study examined recall and recognition memory in 20 nonmedicated p atients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) ann 20 matched contro l subjects. As hypothesized, OCD subjects showed abnormalities affecti ng delayed recall of nonverbal information but showed normal recogniti on. These results are interpreted as providing preliminary evidence of a nonverbal memory retrieval deficit consistent with proposed cortico striatal system dysfunction in OCD.
