“…The present findings suggest that the representation of self in time seems to be independent of current mood, and therefore confirm and extend the results of previous studies on episodic memory (Lloyd & Lishman, 1975;Martin et al, 1983;Ruiz Caballero & Bermudez, 1995).…”

“…Moreover, the relationship between neuroticism and retrieval of episodic memories is constrained by reality, i.e., the actual events a person experiences, whereas as regards episodic future thinking, the effect of neuroticism might be more direct. It is also noteworthy to mention that, though some studies have shown that the effect of neuroticism on memory retrieval was affected by mood (Bradley & Mogg, 1994;Kuiper & MacDonald, 1982) while other studies did not (Lloyd & Lishman, 1975 ;Martin et al, 1983 ;Ruiz Caballero & Bermudez, 1995 ) and that the ability to generate future events was significantly altered by changes in mood (Hepburn, Barnhofer & Williams, 2006), the present finding show an impact of neuroticism on negative future thinking even when mood is controlled.

Recent research on autonoetic consciousness indicates that the ability to remember the past and the ability to project oneself into the future are closely related. The purpose of the present study was to confirm this proposition by examining whether the relationship observed between personality and episodic memory could be extended to episodic future thinking and, more generally, to investigate the influence of personality traits on selfinformation processing in the past and in the future. Results show that Neuroticism and Harm Avoidance predict more negative past memories and future projections. Other personality dimensions exhibit a more limited influence on mental time travel (MTT). Therefore, our study provide an additional evidence to the idea that MTT into the past and into the future rely on a common set of processes by which past experiences are used to envision the future.

“…Cognitive Effort, Memory, and Depressed Mood Memory deficits are well documented in clinically depressed patients (Badawi, 1985;Henry, Weingartner, & Murphy, 1973;Lloyd & Lishman, 1975;Russell & Beekhuis, 1976;Weingartner, Cohen, Murphy, Martello, & Gerdt, 1981) as well as in subjects who have been subjected to artificially induced depressed mood states (Bower, Gilligan, & Monteiro, 1981;Leight & Ellis, 1981). Why should depression impair memory?…”

We focus on the issue of whether cognitive effort is causally related to memory. We begin with a discussion of the concept of cognitive effort as derived from capacity models of attention. We then suggest that the theoretical analysis of memory may involve concepts from different levels of psychological analysis, and we draw a distinction between concepts that represent boundary conditions and sufficient cause. When applied to memory phenomena, attentional concepts serve only as a boundary-or limiting-function in memory theory. In contrast, concepts that represent memorial processes serve as a sufficient cause function. In some instances, cognitive effort appears to have been used as a sufficient cause concept, resulting in some confusion. A review of the literature reveals a haphazard correlation between indexes of cognitive effort and of memory performance. Alternatively, the application of cognitive effort or capacity to the memory performance of certain populations (clinical, children, and elderly) illustrates a potentially more appropriate use of the concept.Whatever future conclusion we may reach as to this, we cannot denythat an object once attended to will remain in the memory, whilst one inattentively allowed to pass will leave no traces behind. (James, 1890, p. 427) The conceptsof attentionand memory have been perennially interwoven in the fabric of cognitive theory. Any adequate theory of intellectual functioning must eventually describe the interaction between these concepts, as well as provide a coherent account of the two concepts separately. Research and theory on these concepts logically precede description of their interaction, but the inextricable intertwining of attention and memory sometimes encourages the transfer of concepts from attention to explanations of memory. Since theories of attentionand theories of memory, as separate conceptual systems, are designed to address different questions, borrowing concepts from attention to explain questions about memory can lead to confusion and, occasionally, to illogical propoThis article is based in part on a symposium at the 91st Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association in Anaheim, CA (Hunt, 1983 sitions. It is our position that some conceptual confusion has arisen over the application of the attentional concept of cognitive effort as an explanatory mechanism of memory phenomena.The goal of a theory of attention, in large part, is to describe the selective and limited character of cognitive functioning. The empiricalbasis for this work has derived historically from the question, "How many things can be done at one time?" Dependentmeasures of memory have often been used to answer this empirical question. Memory measures are prevalent in empirical studies of attention because theories of attention typically specify a mechanism for selection, and memory performance can be predicted from the hypotheticaloperation of this selection mechanism. For example, Broadbent's (1958)model of attention assumed that the processes responsible f...

“…É descrito que pacientes deprimidos teriam maior seletividade na evocação de material negativo [49][50] . Williams et al 51 sugerem que o processamento cognitivo ocorreria em dois tempos: um pré-atentivo (que segue a captura atentiva da informação e é refletido em testes de memória implícita) e outro elaborativo (que envolve a associação de informações-alvo com outras informações na memória, refletida em testes explícitos).…”

INTRODUÇÃOO aporte de técnicas mais modernas de exames para investigação do sistema nervoso central (SNC) vem influenciando de forma contundente a psiquiatria de uma maneira geral. Cada vez mais os estudos científicos desenvolvidos nesta área vêm considerando, além dos aspectos mentais propriamente ditos (como na psicologia cognitiva), seus substratos neuroanatômicos e neurofuncionais (neuropsicologia, neurobiologia) 1-4 . Desta forma, a psiquiatria pode ser inserida dentro do vasto campo das neurociências cognitivas, beneficiando-se de modelos que explicam as disfunções cognitivas com base no conhecimento da relação normal cérebro/ mente 2,5 .A neuropsicologia, que pode ser definida como uma ciência aplicada que visa estudar a repercussão de disfunções cerebrais sobre o comportamento e a cognição 6 , vem atualmente ganhando importante lugar no estudo das desordens psiquiátricas. A partir de testes, ela n ã o só fornece informações quanto ao potencial cognitivo global de um paciente, mas principalmente procura qualificar a natureza funcional dos déficits observados através da aná lise comparativa e qualitativa dos resultados obtidos, permitindo uma correlação anatomofuncional refinada. Assim, a neuropsicologia enriquece o diagnóstico clínico e ainda permite correlações com as informações advindas de outros exames complementares, que aferem atividade eletrogê nica, metabó lica e os de neuroimagem, fazendo uma ponte entre estes e o quadro clínico do paciente 7 .A depressão é um transtorno mental do humor; este grupo classicamente apresentaria remissão dos sintomas nos períodos interfásicos em contraposição ao caráter crônico da esquizofrenia, conforme a classificação cunhada por Kraepelin.
