背景资料：抑郁症患者一直表现出在访问过去事件的特定记忆方面的问题，而是倾向于检索事件的分类摘要。大多数研究自传体记忆的变化与精神病理学倾向于使用文字线索，但只有一个研究迄今使用图像目的：确定与健康对照组相比，使用图像提示自传体记忆是否会减少抑郁症患者表现出的记忆特异性缺陷。二十五名临床抑郁症患者和二十五名健康对照者接受了两种版本的自传体记忆测试的评估;以情感词语和图像为线索。结果：与对照组相比，抑郁症患者获得的特定记忆明显较少，而分类记忆的数量较多。对照组检索到更大比例的特定记忆的图像相比，文字，而抑郁症患者检索到类似比例的特定记忆的图像和words.Limitations：没有信息的存在和严重程度的过去traumatic collected.Conclusions：结果表明，过度概括的记忆风格在抑郁症概括从口头到图片线索。这一点很重要，因为图像检索可能比文字线索检索提供更生态有效的日常记忆体验测试。(C)2016爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有
Background: Depressed individuals have been consistently shown to exhibit problems in accessing specific memories of events from their past and instead tend to retrieve categorical summaries of events. The majority of studies examining autobiographical memory changes associated with psychopathology have tended to use word cues, but only one study to date has used images (with PTSD patients).Objective: to determine if using images to cue autobiographical memories would reduce the memory specificity deficit exhibited by patients with depression in comparison to healthy controls.Methods: Twenty-five clinically depressed patients and twenty-five healthy controls were assessed on two versions of the autobiographical memory test; cued with emotional words and images.Results: Depressed patients retrieved significantly fewer specific memories, and a greater number of categorical, than did the controls. Controls retrieved a greater proportion of specific memories to images compared to words, whereas depressed patients retrieved a similar proportion of specific memories to both images and words.Limitations: no information about the presence and severity of past trauma was collected.Conclusions: results suggest that the overgeneral memory style in depression generalises from verbal to pictorial cues. This is important because retrieval to images may provide a more ecologically valid test of everyday memory experiences than word-cued retrieval.. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
