摘要：

Depressed patients have been reported to show deficits in tasks that demand memory, planning/sequencing, speeded responding, and effortful responding. Many studies of depressed patients have used inadequate instrumentation or poor control groups. In this investigation, the cognitive performance of 44 patients diagnosed as clinically depressed was compared with the performance of a control group of normal individuals that closely matched the clinical group on the variables of age, gender, race or ethnic group, and educational attainment. The groups were compared on the tasks that compose the Kaufman Adolescent and Adult Intelligence Test (KAIT), which includes reliable and valid measures of most pertinent areas of purported deficit in depressed patients. Multivariate analyses of variance indicated that the depressed and control groups did not differ significantly on KAIT variables, but the depressed patients did differ significantly from the control group on the delayed versus immediate recall of verbal information.
