We investigated performance on implicit and explicit memory tasks in subjects diagnosed with major depression and matched controls. Depressed subjects showed impaired performance on both the explicit and implicit tasks in comparison with controls. These findings are in contrast to groups such as amnesic patients and older adults, who show preserved abilities on implicit tasks and deficits on explicit tasks.

Recent research in which investigators examined cerebral specialization in individuals with Down syndrome was reviewed. Although dichotic listening studies seem to indicate that individuals with Down syndrome are more likely than those without Down syndrome to display a left ear/right hemisphere advantage for speech sounds, evidence from other experimental paradigms makes a simple model of reversed cerebral specialization for individuals with Down syndrome untenable. We proposed a model of cerebral specialization that has as its main feature the biological dissociation between speech perception and the production of speech and other complex movements. In light of this feature, possible directions for future research were discussed.
