Depressive rumination: testing the analytical rumination hypothesis in patients with depressive disorder
Janíčková, Petra ; Preiss, Marek (advisor) ; Dymešová, Gabriela (referee)
Depression is commonly viewed as a pathology. Depressive rumination, one of the key symptoms of depression is thought to be a maladaptive cognitive style that contributes to worse and longer depressive episodes. Here I present an alternative approach called the analytical rumination hypothesis (ARH). ARH proposes that depression is an evolved response to complex analytical problems. In a study on inmate patients of the National institute of mental health in Klecany with diagnosed depression we tested the validity of the ARH through assessing the influence of depressive rumination on mood, cognitive performance and electrophysiological correlates. Rumination was experimentally induced by expressive writing. In the control condition we used the distractive writing method. The results show a corresponding effect of rumination on the mood of our patients as expected. However, we were not able to see the proposed effects on cognitive abilities.

Tato práce se zabývá problematikou mentální reprezentace čísla a číselných řad. Výzkumná část práce je zaměřena na ověření změny gama aktivity v parietálním lobu při úlohách spojených s výpočetními operacemi na číselných řadách v kanonické (levostranné) a nekanonické (pravostranné)podobě. Měřením EEG aktivity během prezentace a řešení daných úloh zachycujeme změny aktivity v parietální oblasti mozku.
