- Abstract
Both Channon, Baker, and Robertson (1993) and Hartlage, Alloy, Vazquez, and Dykman (1993) claim that working memory impairment in depressed patients is limited to Baddeley's (1996) central executive and does not affect either the phonological loop or the visuospatial scratchpad. Our key questions were: (1) is there an impairment of working memory in depression and which elements does it effect; (2) is another major clinical group also affected and in what ways, and finally, (3) how do these groups vary when compared with each other and with normals? Thus we sought to locate a depression-specific effect and define its extent.
