Official Title: "Ein Training Kognitiver Kontrolle Emotionaler Inhalte im Arbeitsgedächtnis: Effekte Auf Die Häufigkeit Und Auswirkungen Von Grübeln Bei Depressiven Patienten" (English: Train
Brief Summary: The present study examines whether a computerized cognitive control training as compared to a placebo (fake) training will reduce the frequency of depressive rumination in depressed individuals. Rumination has been identified as a major risk factor for the onset and recurrence of depressive episodes and it has been suggested that it is linked to deficits in cognitive control functions. It is thus expected that training cognitive control will reduce the frequency of rumination as well as ameliorate its detrimental effect on negative mood states.
