Method: Using convenience sampling method, three groups including 25 obsessive- compulsive patients (checker-type), 23 patients with generalized anxiety disorder and 26 normal subjects were selected. In the present causal-comparative investigation, participants completed Memory and Cognitive Confidence Scale, Padua Inventory and Beck Depression Inventory-revised. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance. Results: The results showed a significant difference between three groups in memory and cognitive confidence (meta-memory trait) scale and its subscales. Conclusion: Problem in the process of meta-memory appears to be one of the most important issues among these patients. Meanwhile, low confidence to memory possibly plays a central role in explaining the obsessivecompulsive disorder (checker-type). }, URL = {http://icssjournal.ir/article-1-189-en.html}, eprint = {http://icssjournal.ir/article-1-189-en.pdf}, journal = {Advances in Cognitive Sciences}, doi = {}, year = {2013} }
