English term or phrase: stamina
Shewas administered the Individual Visual and Auditory Continuous Performance Test (IVA-2) in order to assess skills in the attention and concentration domains.
This is a twenty-minute computerized test that asked her to click the computer mouse each time a 1 is presented either on the screen or through the speakers, and to refrain from responding each time a 2 is presented.
The test considers errors of omission, errors of commission, reaction speed, and *stamina*.

Spanish translation:resistencia
Explanation:
Yo optaría por "resistencia" en este contexto. A diferencia de Merab, para mí es lo que más sentido tiene. No se trata de tener paciencia, si no de cuánto aguanta concentrado el individuo evaluado.

paciencia


Explanation:
No me gusta "resistencia" en este contexto. "Aguante" sería demasiado informal. "paciencia" encaja a la perfección, en mi opinión.

(Capacidad de) atención


Explanation:
En el contexto educativo y pedagógico, dependiendo del contexto, por supuesto, “stamina” puede significar “(capacidad de) atención” o “concentración”. En este caso concreto y en función de la información aportada (“assess skills in the attention and concentration domains”), creo que “atención” o “capacidad de atención” podrían ser opciones válidas.

aguante, tolerancia, no rendirse


Explanation:
En línea con lo expresado por Alan; capacidad de aguantar, de tolerar, de no rendirse esos 20 minutos haciendo clic a un mouse cuando sale un 1/suena un 1 y dejando de cliquear si sale un 2 (una tarea repetitiva donde quizás esos números salen muy rápido).
