Doubting love: identification and stigma towards relationship obsessive-compulsive disorder

ABSTRACT Objective Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a clinically heterogeneous condition with a variety of symptom dimensions. The aim of this study was to assess the ability of university students and the lay public to identify a lesser-known theme of obsessive-compulsive symptoms known as relationship obsessive-compulsive disorder (ROCD) and to examine factors that impact identification and stigma of this symptom subtype. Method A total of 258 participants (M = 24.1 years, SD = 7.61) completed an online survey. A series of clinical vignettes depicted hypothetical characters with ROCD, varied by symptom presentation (partner-focused, relationship-centred) and gender (female, male), as well as a contamination OCD vignette for comparison purposes. Results As expected, participants showed significantly higher misidentification rates for ROCD (88.3%) compared to the contamination vignettes (28.7%). ROCD was most often misidentified as relationship issues and worry. Although partner-focused ROCD was not misidentified more frequently than relationship-centred ROCD, partner-focused vignettes were significantly more stigmatised than relationship-centred vignettes as predicted (with the male, partner-focused vignette most stigmatised). Conclusions High levels of misidentification of ROCD may contribute to the existing lag between OCD symptom onset and proper treatment, emphasising the need for greater education and media focus on the heterogeneity of OCD.

Enhancing Learning Abilities in Students Using a Cognitive Neuroscience Model Based on Brain-Computer Interface Signal Analysis

Computational intelligence is used to create artificially intelligent systems with the ability to learn, adapt, and solve problems. Learners’ computational abilities can be improved with the help of Cognitive Neuroscience techniques. Computational intelligence refers to the ability of a learner based on the complex operations of the brain in the four relevant dimensions: Visual (V), Aural (A), Kinematic (K), and Reading/Writing (R/W). Our proposed framework consists of electroencephalogram (EEG) data acquisition, signal extraction, and EEG signal categorization to assess students’ cognitive learning abilities. Our proposed approach uses an EEG device equipped with a microprocessor, a Think Gear (TGAM) EEG sensor, and a PCB of 16 dry electrodes. The EEG device and the remote processing device are connected by Bluetooth. The EEG signal provides the students with neurofeedback on their cognitive learning capability. The feedback obtained through the learning process will be endowing to improvise computational intelligence. The statistical derivative, Pearson Co-efficient, is used to find the correlation among the derived attributes. The attributes considered are the learner’s gender, stream, age, and geographical region. The results obtained highlight that gender, stream, and age have no correlation with the detectable learning index, and the most accurate learners are kinesthetic ones. Bi-modal learners, who can maintain focus while reading and using their kinematic abilities, had the second highest learning capacity.
