  15. Hi,
  16.  
  17. I'm looking for references to theories of obsessive compulsive disorder.
  18. I'm particularly interested in computational theories (not necessarily
  19. quantitative theories) which explain the phenomena in terms of
  20. breakdown(s) in  normal cognitive functioning.
  21.  
  22. Would someone provide me with pertinent literature? If there aren't any
  23. computational cognitive theories, the most popular OCD theories would
  24. do.
  25.  
  26. Thanks,
  27.  
  28. Luc

  32. Here at Birmingham, Aaron Sloman, myself, and colleagues are working on
  33. a theory of affect and attention. I intend to use this theory to explain
  34. some phenomena of OCD. A paper of ours on affect and attention, which is
  35. to appear in the proceedings of AISB/93 is accessible from
  36. ftp.cs.bham.ac.uk as pub/dist/papers/cog_affect/motive_processing.ps.Z
