Affective Processing Biases in Relation to Past, Current, and Future Depression in Children and Adolescents.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The affective go/no-go (AGN) task has been used to assess affective biases in attention set-shifting and deficits in inhibitory control of emotional information among depressed youth, but results have been inconsistent.

Mixed repeated ANCOVAs were powered to detect small-medium group by valence interactions in response latency and errors. Supplemental r
