Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
• Performance (reaction times and error rates) and neuronal activation patterns (blood-oxygen-level-dependent signal) in working memory, measured with functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) during n-back task at measurement time t1 (before training) and t2 (after training). • Performance (reaction times and error rates) and event-related potentials in performance monitoring measured with electroencephalography (EEG) during Flanker task at measurement time t1 and t2.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
All measurements at t1 and t2: • OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) symptoms measured with SCID-I OCD section, Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) and Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R) • Depressive symptoms measured with Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II) and Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) • Additional questionnaires: Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Fragebogen zu exekutiven Funktionen (KATE), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) • Neuropsychological tests: Stroop, Digit Symbol, Digit span, Leistungsprüfsystem – Subtest Figural relations, Trail making test A & B
