抑郁症的认知理论强调，抑郁情绪和对负面信息的偏见回忆之间存在恶性循环。与此相一致的是，抑郁的成年人对负面信息的回忆有选择性地增强。这种回忆偏见被认为是由不良早期经历形成的负面自我指涉图式的可及性增加所介导的。鉴于此，令人惊讶的是，很少有研究从发展的角度研究抑郁相关的回忆偏差。临床抑郁症儿童被发现表现出增强回忆的负面形容词，特别是当自我指涉，但迄今为止，没有证据表明类似的回忆偏见，在非临床抑郁症组。目前的研究通过调查高和低非临床抑郁症儿童（5-11岁）回忆情感故事来解决这个问题。与低抑郁组相比，高抑郁组儿童对消极故事的回忆相对于积极故事有所增强。这并不因年龄组而异。我们的结论是，当使用面向儿童的材料时，即使在5岁以上的儿童的非临床样本中，也可以观察到与抑郁症相关的回忆对负面信息的偏见。
Cognitive theories of depression emphasise a vicious circle linking depressed mood and biased recall towards negative information. In line with this, depressed adults show selectively enhanced recall for negative information. This recall bias is held to be mediated by increased accessibility of negative self-referent schemas formed as a result of adverse early experiences. Given this, surprisingly few studies have examined depression-related recall biases from a developmental perspective. Clinically depressed children have been found to show enhanced recall of negative adjectives, particularly when self-referent, but to date there is no evidence for similar recall biases in non-clinically depressed groups. The current study addressed this by investigating high and low non-clinically depressed children's (aged 5-11 years) recall of emotional stories. High depressed children showed enhanced recall of negative stories, relative to positive stories, compared to the low depressed group. This did not vary with age group. We conclude that, when child-oriented materials are used, depression-related biases in recall towards negative information are observable even in a non-clinical sample of children from 5 years of age.
