Globally, the appearance of Covid-19 has generated a worrying situation. The present study focuses on Ecuador, being one of the most affected Latin American countries, both in terms of the number of deaths and contagions. In this sense, the research aims to provide information on cognitive, executive, affective and ethical habits during crisis situations. A quantitative exploration of descriptive scope was carried out, with the objective of knowing the perception of modification in the types of habits from the perspective of cognitive psychology and learning. The sample consisted of 173 people between 24 and 60 years of age living in Ecuador. A survey with semi-structured questions was applied, the results showed a modification in certain cognitive and affective habits. However, executive and ethical habits have remained intact, without any modification. It was concluded that in the modification of cognitive habits, the perception of preoccupation with disaster and lack of attention prevailed. Likewise, in affective habits, there was evidence of a modification related to feelings of sadness, anxiety, sensitivity to change and dominant fear during confinement.
