    Nuestro objetivo era verificar si los pacientes con trastorno bipolar experimentan alteraciones en la codificación y recuperación de la información autobiográfica, referente a eventos con diferentes valencias emocionales. Una tarea experimental basada en el paradigma de realidad virtual fue administrada a 14 pacientes bipolares eutímicos y 23 adultos sanos. Los partici­ pantes también fueron objeto de evaluación neuropsicológica y completaron los cuestionarios de autoinforme relativos al estado de ánimo y síntomas psicopatológicos. Los pacientes bipolares, en comparación con los adultos sanos, reconocieron más infor­ mación asociada a eventos negativos y recuperaron menos información referente a eventos positivos. Se sugiere que las altera­ciones en el procesamiento de la información negativa son causadas por la activación de los procesos de regulación emocional desadaptativos, y que las alteraciones en el procesamiento de la información positiva surgen de la elaboración insuficiente de rasgos mnésicos o de procesos de supresión/distorsión que actúan durante la recuperación.

    This study aimed to examine whether patients with bipolar disorder (BD) perceive differences in the encoding and retrieving of autobiographical information related to events with different emotional valence. For this purpose, an experimental task based on the virtual reality paradigm was administrated to 14 euthymic BD patients and 23 healthy controls. All participants also had a neuropsychological assessment and completed self­report questionnaires as to mood and psychopathological symptoms. BD patients, when compared to adult controls, recognized more information associated with negative lifelike events and retrieved less information related to positive events. We suggest that changes in processing negative information are caused by the activation of maladaptive emotion­regulation processes, and changes in processing positive information arise from insufficient elaboration of memory traces or from suppression/distortion processes acting during retrieval.
