Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to compare the executive functions of patients with hoarding disorder and normal people in the city of Mashhad. Method: The design of the present study was causal-comparative and its statistical population consisted of people referring to Health Center No. 3 in Mashhad in 2017. The statistical sample included 30 individuals with hoarding disorder and 30 non-clinical participants. Data was collected using a structured interview, the revised version of Frost and Stecti storage behavior (SAL), and Back and visual-auditory computer tests. Multivariate analysis of variance was used to analyze the data. Results: The research findings showed a significant difference between people with hoarding disorder and people without clinical symptoms in answers (P = 0.001, F = 55.38), sustained auditory attention (P = 0.001, 48.61), and sustained visual attention (P=0.001, F=49.12) and people with hoarding disorder have a lower mean. In the mean reaction time, the differences were significant (P=0.001, F=36.684) and people without clinical symptoms had a higher mean. There was no significant difference in visual and auditory response inhibition (P<0.05). Conclusion: The research results showed that the performance of people with hoarding disorder in executive actions (working memory and sustained attention) is weaker than those without clinical symptoms.
