AB To characterize the attention deficits in one-hundred-fifteen participants, comprising twotypes of clinical profiles (affective and anxiety disorder), through a test of continuous VR execution.Method: Three tests (i.e., Nesplora Aquarium, BDI, and STAI) were used to obtain a standardizedmeasure of attention, as well as the existence and severity of depression and anxiety, respectively.Results: Significant differences (CI = 95%) were found between the control group and the groupwith depression, in variables related to the speed of visual processing (p = 0.008) in the absenceof distractors (p = 0.041) and during the first dual execution task (p = 0.011). For scores related tosustained attention, patients with depression and those with anxiety did not differ from controls.Our results suggest attentional deficits in both clinical populations when performing a continuousperformance test that involved the participation of the central executive system of working memory.
