Rotge et al. [2] demonstrated that asking patients with obsessive compulsive disorder to compare separately presented images was a good way to assess the intensity of their checking behavior. However, the patients with good insight could consciously refrain from checking [1]. To get rid of this problem, the images were presented simultaneously while the patients' eye movements were recorded. Whatever their insight patients made more gaze moves to compare the images than controls. The patients' checking behavior was actually related to a reduced working memory span.
