Mood-Congruency Memory Of Depressed People In Perception-driven And Conception-drive Test

The relation between emotion and memory has been the widespread issue in the field of cognitive psychology. In the past 20 years, the research of impcicit memory which can occur automatically or something out of the consciousness han been a hot topic. Some articles discussion about mood-congruency memory of depressed people in perception-drive test, and other articless discussion about mood-congruency memory of depressed people in conception-drive test. But in the research discussion the mood-congruency of depressed people in both two levels, in perception and conception process. Integrative research about the implicit memory of depressed people, breakthought the past single research about the mood-congruency memory. In the research, we discuss the mood-congruency of depressed people in two different levels, in perception-driven and conception-driven test.The experimental material are affetive valence picutres. The things, including the stimulus presenting under the control of E-Prine.Experiment one about mood-congruency in perception process, the results showed that the mood-congruent memory wasn't expressed not only in the explicit memory,but also in implicit memory. Experiment two about mood-congruency in conception process, the results showed that the mood-congruent memory was expressed not only in the explicit memory,but also in implicit memory.If mood-congruency memory is an important cognitive maintenance mechanism in depression, it could be argued that the way this bias impacts the behaviour and experience of depressed individuals is more through implicit or unintentional memory than through explicit processes. The research is not only deepen and extended the field of mood-congruency memory, but also guidance significance for the depression of consultation and treatment.
