当焦虑或抑郁的人试图回忆情感上模棱两可的事件时，他们产生的错误反映了他们用消极的方式解释模棱两可的习惯。在将解释偏差考虑在内后，对记忆任务的表现进行评估的实验揭示了这些扭曲。解释偏差是标准记忆偏差程序的另一种选择，标准记忆偏差程序检验的是对明显情绪材料的记忆准确性。为了帮助确定解释偏差在产生记忆偏差中的因果作用，我们在非无序组中通过训练解释偏差来模拟这些扭曲。讨论了这些发现对治疗干预的实际意义；描述了未来的发展方向。
When anxious or depressed people try to recall emotionally ambiguous events, they produce errors that reflect their habits of interpreting ambiguity in negative ways. These distortions are revealed by experiments that evaluate performance on memory tasks after taking interpretation biases into account-an alternative to the standard memory-bias procedure that examines the accuracy of memory for clearly emotional material. To help establish the causal role of interpretation bias in generating memory bias, these distortions have been simulated by training interpretation biases in nondisordered groups. The practical implications of these findings for therapeutic intervention are discussed; future directions are described.
