An experiment is described in which depressed patients were asked to recall pleasant or unpleasant experiences from their past life in response to a standard series of stimulus words. The ratio between the time for recall of pleasant and unpleasant experiences was found to fall progressively with increasing severity of depression or of "neuroticism" and to be significantly related to each. Among patients who scored relatively low on depression or neuroticism pleasant memories were recalled more speedily than unpleasant; among those who scored high this relationship was reversed. Possible mechanisms to account for these findings are discussed.
本文描述了一项实验，在该实验中，抑郁症患者被要求根据一系列标准刺激词回忆过去生活中的愉快或不愉快经历。结果发现，随着抑郁症或“神经质”严重程度的增加，回忆愉快和不愉快经历的时间之比逐渐下降，且与两者均显著相关。在抑郁症或神经质得分相对较低的患者中，愉快记忆的回忆速度比不愉快记忆更快；而在得分较高的患者中，这种关系则相反。文中讨论了解释这些发现的可能机制。
