Altered P300 amplitude to emotive words may reflect emotional processing bias in depression; leaves open its value as a diagnostic biomarker.
Do depressed patients show altered P300 responses to emotive words compared to normal controls?
Depressed patients exhibit altered physiological processing (P300 amplitude) of emotive words, a pattern that persists even after recovery.
Blackburn et al. (1990) studied this question.
