Studies concerning reality monitoring and motor memory abilities in checkers have provided mixed results. The aim of this study was to re-examine this question by asking 75 undergraduate students to perform, watch the experimenter perform, imagine themselves performing, imagine the experimenter performing, or verbally repeat different daily actions. Two groups were created (checking-prone and nonchecking-prone subjects) based on participants’ checking subscores on the revised version of the Obsessive–Compulsive Inventory. First, results suggested that checking-prone subjects have a poorer motor memory than nonchecking-prone participants. Second, our data indicated that checking-prone participants confused actions they had performed with actions the experimenter had performed more often than nonchecking-prone participants. In other words, checking-prone participants remembered events from an observer's viewpoint. Finally, our findings suggest that dissociation could be a mediating variable between some of the reality monitoring abilities and checking.
