~15% failure rate may be optimal for learning a new task. What?! Yep! How might this translate to doing exposures?
@hubermanlab hubermanlab.com: "Provided they don’t comprise safety, errors during learning are terrific because they increase activation of the neural circuits that increase alertness. It makes sense, right? If you perform something correctly, why should your brain take notice? When we make errors, it feels “stressful,” but that is just an increase in attention that puts us in a much better place to perform and execute learning-related behaviors the next trial—meaning on the next attempt. Computational modeling data suggests that an error rate of ~15% may be optimal and can help determine how difficult we should make a task. But don’t worry too much about those specifics. Instead, keep doing repetitions and when you mess up, capitalize on it by doing another attempt (and another) while your forebrain is in that maximally attentive state."

Evidence-based treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is not tremendously difficult to understand. It involves things like tracking when you compulse, learning to face challenging situations without compulsion, and how to tolerate uncertainty while engaging with what you value. Sounds good, right?⠀
⠀
In practice, OCD can be very complex, and some cases are challenging to treat. But even in complex cases, the gold standard for treatment still usually applies: Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). However, this treatment must do certain things and look out for common problems and challenges to be effective. Join me on August 25th for a one-night, FREE event, for sufferers, family members, professionals, and anyone just interested.⠀
