The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of severe depression on the Test of Memory Malingering (TOMM). The present study examined whether 20 participants with high levels of depression, as measured by the Beck Depression Inventory 2nd Edition (BDI-II) and with current diagnoses of Major Depressive Disorder, would perform significantly worse on the TOMM than a control group. The results showed that the depressed and control groups did not have significant mean group differences on TOMM performance. Of the 20 depressed participants, only 2 on Trial 2 and 1 on the Retention Trial scored below the cutoff of 45, while none of the control participants performed in this range. The potential ameliorating effects of medications on the performance of the depressed group are discussed. The results indicate that the TOMM can be used with even severely depressed participants with only slight caution.
本研究的目的是检验重度抑郁症对伪装记忆测验（TOMM）的影响。本研究考察了20名通过贝克抑郁量表第二版（BDI-II）测量且目前被诊断为重度抑郁症的高度抑郁参与者在TOMM上的表现是否会显著差于对照组。结果显示，抑郁组和对照组在TOMM表现上没有显著的组间平均差异。在20名抑郁参与者中，只有2名在第二次试验中以及1名在记忆保持试验中的得分低于45分的临界值，而对照组参与者无人在此范围内。文中讨论了药物对抑郁组表现的潜在改善作用。结果表明，即使是对于重度抑郁的参与者，使用TOMM时也只需稍加谨慎。
