“…Although other studies of executive function have reported an association between specificity and verbal fluency Sumner et al, 2011Sumner et al, , 2014, working memory (Raes et al, 2006), and inhibition (Raes et al, 2010), our results are consistent with those that have not found associations with some or all of these particular executive subcomponents (Goddard et al, 1998;Watson et al, 2013;Williams & Scott, 1988). That is, when testing all these subcomponents simultaneously in the same sample, we found that strategic retrieval processes emerged as the only significant predictor.…”

Future simulation may be particularly vulnerable to executive dysfunction in individuals with current/previous depressive symptoms, with evidence of a differential reduction in the specificity of future events. Strategic retrieval abilities were associated with the degree of future event specificity whereas levels of rumination and avoidance were not. Given that the ability to generate specific simulations of the future is associated with enhanced psychological wellbeing, problem solving and coping behaviours, understanding how to increase the specificity of future simulations in depression is an important direction for future research and clinical practice. Interventions focusing on improving the ability to engage strategic processes may be a fruitful avenue for increasing the ability to imagine specific future events in depression. The autobiographical event tasks have somewhat limited ecological validity as they do not account for the many social and environmental cues present in everyday life; the development of more clinically-relevant tasks may be of benefit to this area of study.

“…Their findings highlight the importance of maintaining a task set (i.e., a memory response has to be specific) during the AMT itself (Yanes, Roberts, & Carlos, 2008) and inhibiting inappropriate response candidates (i.e., overgeneral memories) when generating a memory response (Barnhofer, de JongMeyer, Kleinpaß, & Nikesch, 2002;Dalgleish et al, 2007). Indeed, more recent studies have provided further evidence on this impoverished-inhibition hypothesis, showing that reduced AMS is associated with impaired inhibitory control measured by a questionnaire and various experimental paradigms (Piolino et al, 2010;Raes et al, 2010;Smets et al, 2014).…”

“…Although recent studies have suggested that reduced AMS is associated with general impairment in executive control (Dalgleish et al, 2007;Raes, Verstraeten, Bijttebier, Vasey, & Dalgleish, 2010;Smets, Wessel, & Raes, 2014), limited empirical evidence is available on the way information is processed during autobiographical memory retrieval. More specifically, it is still unclear what materials are selected and activated automatically or spontaneously during specific memory retrieval, and what (dys)functions in such cognitive mechanisms contribute to reduced AMS.…”

Lost in distractors: Reduced Autobiographical Memory Specificity and dispersed activation spreading over distractors in working memory

Studies on autobiographical memory retrieval highlight the prominence of rapid and direct access to a specific event memory. Because it has been believed that autobiographical memory retrieval mostly relies on an effortful generative process, there is little empirical evidence on the early stage of information processing that contributes to autobiographical memory specificity (AMS). Therefore, we investigated the associations between AMS and automatic activation of information stimulated by rapid presentation of emotional words. Study 1 involved a visual search task to assess activation of various distractors in working memory. Participants with reduced AMS showed a tendency to activate distractors that were not semantically associated with preceding cues. In Study 2, we manipulated the levels of AMS by using a computerized version of Memory Specificity Training (c-MeST) to observe the changes in the activation of distractors. Results showed that increases in AMS were associated with decreases in activation of cue-unassociated distractors. These findings suggest that reduced AMS can be characterized by dispersed activation spreading over semantically unassociated distractors in automatic information selection of working memory. Because we also found an association between depressive symptoms and AMS, the role of automatic information processing in the relation between reduced AMS and depression is discussed.

“…As already in early adolescence meaningful differences in autobiographical memory specificity were found (Drummond, Dritschel, Astell, O'Carroll, & Dalgleish, 2006;Raes, Verstraeten, Bijttebier, Vasey, & Dalgleish, 2010;Vrielynck, Deplus, & Philippot, 2007), and as previous research found that, in early adolescence, similar cognitive vulnerabilities are developed during interactions with attachment figures (Mezulis, Hyde, & Abramson, 2006), the current study investigated these three hypotheses in that age-group.…”

Although autobiographical memory specificity is an important developmental feature fostering adaptation throughout life, little is known about factors related to interindividual differences in autobiographical memory specificity. The current study investigated associations with early adolescents' communication with mother about their experiences and their trust in her support. For this reason, 80 general population children (ages ranging from 10 to 13) were asked to retrieve specific memories of interactions with mother. Communication and trust in maternal support were measured using questionnaires. Results showed that specificity of autobiographical memories was directly linked with communication, but not with trust in maternal support. Moreover, evidence was found in favor of an indirect effect of trust on Article at UNIV CALIFORNIA SAN DIEGO on April 12, 2015 jea.sagepub.com Downloaded from
