This study examined the sensitivity of a computerized neuropsychological screening (ImPACT) to the cognitive effects of depression in a sample of 20 students with suspected depression and 20 healthy university students matched for gender, age, and education. Students with depression had slower reaction times (p < .02; d = .82, large effect) and processing speeds (p < .03; d = .77, large effect). The brevity and sensitivity of ImPACT to the cognitive effects of depression warrants further research with psychiatric populations.
