[Features of memorization disorders in different variants of endogenous depression].
Under study there were psychological processes underlying the deterioration of the memorizing effectiveness in patients with manic-depressive psychosis and schizophrenia. The author examined 96 patients with melancholic, anxious and apathic depressions. For examining the qualitative peculiarities of the mnestic activity use was made of methods of memorizing 10 works and of pictograms. The results of the experiment were analyzed on the basis of the mnestic activity theory suggested by A. R. Luria. As a result, it has been shown that the deterioration of the memorizing effectiveness in the patients with the melancholic depressions was due to a simplification and impoverishment of the mnestic processes; in patients with the anxious depressions it was due to disturbances of the coordination of those processes, and in patients with the apathic depressions to a distortion of the mnestic process quality.
