Rate of Forgetting in Dementia and Depression.
Hart, Robert P.; And Others
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v55 n1 p101-05 Feb 1987
Examined patients (N=14) with mild Alzheimer's dementia (DAT), patients with major depression (N=10), and normal control subjects (N=14), for rate of forgetting. Suggests that some form of deficient consolidation contributes to memory loss in DAT but not in depression. Implicates the disruption of different psychobiological mechanisms in these disorders.
