Abstract

The purpose of this study was to characterize the relationship between verbal memory and depression scores on the Personality Assessment Inventory following traumatic brain injury. Depression was associated with diminished delayed recall and recognition on the California Verbal Learning Test-II (CVLT-II), even after controlling for a neuropsychological composite score and/or a measure of motivation (i.e., the TOMM). There was no relationship between depression and recall on Verbal Paired Associates or Logical Memory when controlling for the same covariates. The findings were most consistent with depressed subjects failing to utilize the semantic organization of the CVLT-II list to enhance their learning.
