| Abstract (English): |
Objective: To evaluate deficits in time-based and event-based prospective memory (PM) in Mexican individuals diagnosed with moderate to severe depression. Methods: Two PM paradigms and a high cognitive load task were administered to 22 participants (with and without depression). Performance in time-based and event-based tasks was compared using screen click frequency as an indicator of errors and overall performance. Results: Differences were found in event-based task performance compared to time-based tasks across both groups. Participants achieved an overall average score of 64.67 (SD = 15.45). No significant differences were found between conditions, except for a marginal effect observed in Task 6 ($p = 0.049$). Conclusions: These findings suggest variations in PM execution under cognitive load. However, the marginal statistical significance highlights the need for further studies with larger samples to obtain more robust data on cognitive impairment in this population.

Objetivo: Evaluar los déficits en la memoria prospectiva (MP) basada en tiempo y eventos en individuos mexicanos con diagnóstico de depresión moderada a severa. Métodos: Se administraron dos paradigmas de MP y una tarea de alta carga cognitiva a 22 participantes (con y sin depresión). Se comparó el desempeño en tareas basadas en tiempo y en eventos utilizando la frecuencia de clics en pantalla como indicador de error y rendimiento. Resultados: Se identificaron diferencias en el desempeño de las tareas basadas en eventos en comparación con las de tiempo en ambos grupos. Los participantes obtuvieron una puntuación promedio general de 64.67 (DE = 15.45). No se hallaron diferencias significativas entre condiciones, a excepción de un efecto marginal observado en la Tarea 6 ($p = 0.049$). Conclusiones: Los hallazgos sugieren variaciones en la ejecución de la MP bajo condiciones de carga cognitiva, aunque la sutil diferencia estadística subraya la necesidad de estudios con muestras más amplias para obtener datos más robustos sobre el deterioro cognitivo en la población afectada.
