Predictions from models linking cognitive function to depression

Model Predictions
IQ and Cognitive Reserve 1) Impairments across all cognitive domains
2) Impairments present in adolescents with either current or past depression
3) Greater impairments in adolescents with more severe or more recurrent depression
4) Present in individuals with other forms of psychopathology, such as anxiety and externalizing disorders
Executive Function and Emotion Regulation 1) Executive function impairments present in adolescents with either current or past depression
2) Executive function impairments with emotion regulation impairments
3) Not present in individuals with externalizing disorders (might be present in anxiety)
Life Stress/Adversity, Emotion Regulation, Hippocampus and Episodic Memory 1)Episodic memory impairments present in adolescents with either current or past depression
2)Episodic memory impairments associated with reduced hippocampal volumes
3)Episodic memory impairments associated with emotion regulation impairments
4)Episodic memory impairments memory associated with life stress and adversity
5)Not present in individuals with externalizing disorders (might be present in anxiety)
