Sustained attention in major unipolar depression. 2007

Jaap van der Meere, and Norbert Börger, and Titus van Os
Laboratory of Developmental and Experimental Clinical Psychology, Groningen, The Netherlands.

Patients suffering from a major unipolar depression (n=17) and a normal control group (n=17) were compared on a noninterrupted vigilance task with a duration of 36 min. The performance decrement over time of the depressed group was indicative of a deficit in sustained attention.
