“…It may involve general memory judgments and task-specific appraisal of one's memory capabilities (Nelson, 1996). Generalized memory complaints have been shown to be associated with depressed mood in a considerable body of research (Grut et al, 1993;Niederehe & Yoder, 1989;O'Connor, Pollitt, Roth, Brook, & Reiss, 1990). The results accord with the observation that depressive people tend to have a negative view about themselves, and this includes their cognitive capacities and other performance outcomes.…”

Memory and metamemory functioning were studied among 30 adult patients suffering from major depression. The results indicate that, besides showing signs of cognitive slowing, the patients were especially vulnerable to visual memory impairment, whereas verbal, short-term memory, and recall by recognition were more often unaffected. The patients whose depression was characterized by physiological symptoms, such as loss of appetite and sleep disturbances, showed impairment in traditional short-term memory measures, whereas there was no firm connection between cognitive or behavioral depressive symptoms and memory functioning. The depressive patients' generalized view of their memory capability was strongly underestimated, whereas online metamemory accuracy by which one perceives and makes inferences about one's performance was adequate.

“…In fact, depression has been consistently associated with inaccurate underestimation of actual memory abilities in the general population (Kalska et al, 1999). For example, depression demonstrated a stronger relationship with reported memory symptoms than memory test performance among a cohort of older healthy adults (Bolla, Lindgren, Bonaccorsy, Bleecker, 1991), and increasing levels of depression are consistently associated with greater number of memory symptoms among both younger and older adults, regardless of actual memory capacities (Bolla, Lindgren, Bonaccorsy, Bleecker, 1991; Niederehe & Yoder, 1989; Kalska, Punamaki, Makinen-Pelli, Saarinen, 1999). …”

Chronic methamphetamine (MA) use is associated with moderate deficits in learning and memory, but the extent to which MA users are aware of such memory deficits (i.e., metamemory) is not known. In the current study, 195 participants with lifetime MA use diagnoses (MA+) and 195 non-MA-using comparison subjects (MA−) underwent comprehensive neuropsychiatric research assessments, including performance-based and self-report measures of episodic memory. MA use disorders, major depressive disorder (MDD), and their interaction were uniquely associated with metamemory functioning, such that MDD increased the likelihood of a metamemory deficit among the MA+ participants. Within the MA group, individuals who over-estimated their memory abilities demonstrated greater executive dysfunction and lower cognitive reserve. Chronic MA use is associated with reduced awareness of objective deficits in memory acquisition and recall, which is particularly exacerbated by the presence of major depression. Efforts to enhance metamemory accuracy and deployment of compensatory mnemonic strategies may benefit substance abuse treatment outcomes.

“…1). Depressed patients show impaired performance in explicit memory tasks that involve strategic retrieval processes, whereas implicit memory is usually preserved 2,3. Regarding emotional disorders, AD patients present less depressive symptoms than depressed patients, but they show more apathy 4.…”
