Depression is a commonly occurring mental disorder, and investigations have been carried out into attentional bias in this condition. The aim of the present study was to investigate the interference inhibition for emotional words in depressed individuals in the emotional Stroop task. ⋯ This is probably the first study to explore the cerebral mechanism of current and remitted depression using the emotional Stroop task. RMD participants were also examined to explore whether attentional bias of emotional stimuli was a stable cognitive vulnerability factor that might be associated with the recurrence of depression. This study and would shed light on the cognitive bias of depression for emotional stimuli.
