Implicit memory for depression-relevant information was examined in non-clinical subjects with high versus low levels of dysphoria (Experiment 1), and in subjects who met DSM-III-R diagnostic criteria for depression versus normal controls (Experiment 2). The implicit memory test was a primed lexical decision task, with depression-relevant and neutral words, and suprathreshold and subthreshold primes. In Experiment 1, dysphoric subjects showed greater subthreshold priming of depression words than non-dysphoric subjects. In Experiment 2, clinically depressed individuals showed greater subthreshold and suprathreshold priming of depression words than normal non-depressed controls. The results confirmed those from previous studies using the primed lexical decision task to investigate implicit memory for negative information in depression (Bradley, Mogg & Williams, 1994, Behaviour Research and Therapy, 32, 65-78; Bradley, Mogg & Williams, 1995, Behaviour Research and Therapy, 33, 755-770). Implications for recent cognitive models of depression are discussed.
在情绪低落程度高与低的非临床受试者中(实验1),以及在符合DSM-III-R抑郁症诊断标准的受试者与正常对照组中(实验2),研究了与抑郁相关信息的内隐记忆。内隐记忆测试是一个启动词词汇判断任务,使用与抑郁相关和中性的词汇,以及阈上和阈下启动词。在实验1中,情绪低落的受试者比情绪正常的受试者对抑郁词汇表现出更大的阈下启动效应。在实验2中,临床抑郁症患者比正常非抑郁对照组对抑郁词汇表现出更大的阈下和阈上启动效应。结果证实了先前使用启动词词汇判断任务来研究抑郁症中负面信息内隐记忆的研究结果(布拉德利、莫格和威廉姆斯,1994年,《行为研究与治疗》,32卷,65 - 78页;布拉德利、莫格和威廉姆斯,1995年,《行为研究与治疗》,33卷,755 - 770页)。讨论了这些结果对近期抑郁症认知模型的意义。
