Memory biases in remitted depression: The role of negative cognitions at explicit and automatic processing levels

Explicit self-esteem mediates the relationship between implicit self-esteem and memory biases in major depression

“…Furthermore, Direnfeld and Roberts (2006) found significant associations between explicit self-evaluations (i.e., dysfunctional attitudes, selfesteem) and incidental retrieval of negative self-referent information in a subclinical sample composed of both non-dysphoric and dysphoric undergraduates. More recently, Romero et al (2014) found that negative self-evaluations evaluated at both implicit (i.e., with the lexical decision task) and explicit levels (i.e., with the scrambled sentence task) were linked to memory biases for negative self-referent information. Specifically, Romero et al (2014) found that formerly depressed individuals reported higher recall of negative information and less recall of positive self-referent information compared to never-depressed individuals, and that such differences in memory biases were predicted by group differences in both implicit and explicit self-evaluations.…”

Stress exposure and the risk for the onset of alcohol use disorders and nicotine dependence in deployed military personnel: The role of prior internalizing disorders

“…Furthermore, deployment-related SE was assessed retrospectively and might be influenced by recall biases. Particularly in individuals with a PMD, this might have led to an overestimation of negative events such as SE (Romero, Sanchez, & Vazquez, 2014). Finally, forms of previous SE that were not considered in this study might have contributed to the results.…”

Modificación de Sesgos Cognitivos (MSC) en depresión: Una revisión crítica de nuevos procedimientos para el cambio de sesgos cognitivos

“…En efecto, muchos estudios muestran una mayor facilidad de las personas con depresión para recordar más elementos negativos que positivos tanto en memoria explícita (Matt, Vázquez y Campbell, 1992) como implícita (Gaddy e Ingram, 2014;Romero, Sánchez y Vázquez, 2014), así como una tendencia a tener recuerdos sobregeneralizados negativos (Williams et al, 2007). Aunque la evidencia es menos consistente, parece que las personas con depresión tienden a interpretar negativamente las situaciones ambiguas (Lawson, MacLeod y Hammond, 2002).…”

“…ej. : "todo me ha ido mal en la vida"), las personas deprimidas muestran menos recuerdos específicos positivos de su vida (Romero, Vázquez y Sánchez, 2014) e incluso tienen dificultades para recordar caras emocionales positivas (Bistricky, Ingram y Atcheley, 2011).…”
