ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the autobiographical memory characteristics in depressed patients and their influence factors.@*METHODS@#Autobiographical memory, emotion and cognitive executive function of 60 depressed patients and 60 healthy controls were assessed with autobiographical memory test (AMT), Hamilton depression scale (HAMD), Beck depression inventory (BDI), Beck anxiety inventory (BAI), hospital anxiety and depression scale (HAD), arrow-task stroop test (ATST), Wisconsin card sorting test (WCST), Backward masking test (BMT) and continuous performance test (CPT).@*RESULTS@#The specific memory of the depressed group was significantly less than that of the control group, and was negatively related with the negative emotion score, the time of anterograde and retrograde reading of ATST, and the time difference of ATST. The overgeneral memory increased and the latency to response of ATST was significantly longer than that of the control group. The two factors were positively related with the negative emotion score, the time of anterograde and retrograde reading of ATST, and the time difference of ATST.@*CONCLUSION@#The autobiographical memory of the depressed patients is overgeneralized and retarded. These characteristics are related with negative emotion and impairment of cognitive executive function.
