“…This result is consistent with reports suggesting that AM performance of individuals with depression history is independent of depression status (acute episode versus remission) (Bergouignan et al, 2008;Spinhoven et al, 2006). The CAMI-SF performance was not associated with level of intellectual functioning.…”

“…This difficulty is further compounded by depression-associated AM impairments. Indeed, according to other systematic reviews and meta-analyses (King et al, 2010;Van Vreeswijk & De Wilde, 2004), experiencing depression correlates with a decreased ability to recall specific AMs that persists in the euthymic phase of recurrent depression (Bergouignan et al, 2008;Kohler et al, 2015). Despite these systematic observations, relatively few studies have sought to isolate the specific effect of ECT on AM independent of mood-associated changes over time.…”

Objective: To reliably quantify the autobiographical retrograde amnesia directly attributable to the effect of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) independent from normal and depression-associated changes in autobiographical memory consistency. Method: By use of retrospective case-control study design, 19 severely depressed inpatients never treated with ECT who received pharmacotherapy (noECT group) were individually matched to similarly depressed 19 patients treated with standard, bitemporal electrode placement, ECT (B-ECT). The two groups were compared at Pre-Treatment, at PostTreatment and at three months Follow-Up on their performance on the Semantic, Episodic-Extended and Episodic-Specific Components of the Columbia Autobiographical Memory Interview-Short Form (CAMI-SF). Effects of treatment group and time on the three components were tested with 2 × 3 repeated-measures analyses of variance. Depression severity, assessed using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, was investigated as possible covariate. To explore the results' clinical significance, individual CAMI-SF performances were compared to available normative data. Results: At Pre-Treatment, the two groups were comparable on all three CAMI-SF components. In both groups, a significant effect of time explained decreased performance at PostTreatment and Follow-Up on all components (p-values < 0.0001). No significant effect of treatment was observed on the Semantic and Episodic-Extended components (p > 0.16). The B-ECT retrieval consistency on the EpisodicSpecific component was significantly worse at both Post-Treatment (p = 0.009) and Follow-Up (p = 0.012) relative to the noECT group. Ratios of im- paired retrieval consistency were higher in the B-ECT group than in the noECT group at Post-Treatment only. On individual level, bitemporal ECT was associated with a clinically significant decrease in Episodic-Specific autobiographical memory recall at Post-Treatment in 37% of participants and, for about 26%, this specific impairment persisted for at least three months after end of treatment. Depression severity did not influence observed results. Conclusion: ECT-associated autobiographical amnesia is limited to specific personal episodes, does not affect all patients and is reversible for some.

“…This finding, however, contradicted the findings of Kuyken & Howell (2000) who reported that adolescents with depression were likely to retrieve memories from an observer point of view. In both studies, the likelihood of participants retrieving positive memories in a field or first-person point of view was quite low, particularly in the pilot study, which proved as evidence to Bergouignan et al, 2008 in that field perspectives impair retrieving positive memories.…”

“…People can thus alternate between the ways they perceive their memories from any time in their lives. Recently, clinical research has tested how patients with depression tend to have an impairment of field perspective when recalling positive events (Bergouignan et al, 2008), rather they are more likely to retrieve memories from an observer perspective (Kuyken & Howell, 2000). Furthermore, the question arises as to whether it is possible that individuals can perceive both field and observer perspectives in emotional autobiographical memories, including neutral memories.…”

“…Lemogne et al (2006) and Bergouignan et al (2008) have studied recollection or negative and positive memories of depressed patients. The results seem to implicate that there is a marked tendency among depressed patients to recall positive memories from a field perspective as opposed to observer perspective.…”

Research on the relative effects of imagining an event from a field vs. observer perspective on emotional experience has mostly relied on the subjective and retrospective self-reports. The main goal of the present study was to investigate the effects of the process of perspective shift on the experience of test anxiety by using physiological responses. Forty seven participants were asked to imagine themselves in a test anxiety situation. Once the original perspective (field or observer) was established, they shifted to the other perspective and then back to the original one. Results indicated that heart rate decreased significantly when those starting with a field perspective shifted to an observer perspective and increased significantly when shifted back to the field perspective. Investigation of the relative effects of perspective shift in high vs. low groups in emotional dispositions might further advance understanding whether perspective adherence might be considered as a legitimate trait. Keywords: Mental imagery, imagery perspective, physiological measures, test anxiety ÖzBir olayın göz veya dış açı ile zihinde canlandırılmasının duygusal yaşantılar üzerindeki etkisi ile ilgili araştırmaların çoğu, sübjektif ve geriye dönük bildirimlerine dayanmaktadır. Bu araştırmanın temel amacı, fizyolojik tepkileri kullanarak canlandırma açısı değişikliğine dair sürecin sınav kaygısı üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir. 47 katılımcıdan kendilerini sınav kaygısı yaşadıkları bir ortamda zihinsel olarak canlandırmaları istenmiştir. Zihinsel canlandırma yaptıkları orijinal açı (göz veya dış) saptandıktan sonra, diğer açıya geçmeleri ve sonrasında tekrar orijinal açıya geri dönmeleri istenmiştir. Göz açısı ile canlandırmaya başlayan katılımcıların dış açıya geçtiklerinde kalp atışlarında anlamlı düzeyde düşüş ve sonrasında yeniden göz açısına döndüklerinde ise yine anlamlı düzeyde yükseliş olduğu görülmüştür. Canlandırma açı değişikliğinin duygular üzerindeki etkisinin bahsi geçen duyguyu yüksek veya düşük düzeyde yaşayan katılımcıların oluşturduğu grupları karşılaştırma yoluyla incelemek, canlandırma açısı yöneliminin kişisel bir özellik sayılıp sayılmayacağı konusuna ışık tutacaktır.Anahtar Kelimeler: Zihinsel canlandırma, canlandırma açısı, fizyolojik ölçümler, sınav kaygısı 1 ozer.akadir@gmail.com 2 Yrd.Doç.Dr., Doğuş Üniversitesi,
