The present study aimed to investigate the role that approach and avoidance tendencies play in motor control using a computer simulated driving task. We recruited one hundred and forty-nine undergraduates and assigned them to either the depression group (n=26) or non-depression group (n=123). Participants were instructed to use a joy-stick to move a virtual car as quickly as possible to a target point without crossing a stop-sign or crashing into a wall. We recorded their continuous actions on a joy-stick. Results showed that those who belonged to the depression group made fewer errors during the driving task and stopped at a longer distance from a target point in both the stop-sign and wall conditions, when compared to the non-depression group, indicating impaired cognitive control. The clinical implications of these findings and the limitations of this study are discussed.
