Resum
The memory performance of normal and clinically depressed subjects was assessed in an explicit memory test (free recall) and in two implicit memory tests (fragment completion and word production from semantic categories). After studying a list of words from various categories, normal subjects recalled more items than depressed subjects in the free recall test. Perfomance in implicit memory tasks was dependent on the type of test. There were no significant differences between the two groups in the fragment completion test. However, facilitation due to previous study was larger for normal than for depressed subjects in the word production test. The results are consistent with a distinction between data-driven and concept-driven retrieval processes.
