Summary of Broad Cognitive Performance Effects of Sleep Deprivation
a.. Involuntary microsleeps occur
b.. Attention-intensive performance is unstable with increased errors
of omission and commission
c.. Cognitive slowing occurs in subject-paced tasks, while time
pressure increases cognitive errors
d.. Response time slows
e.. Both short-term recall and working memory performances decline
f.. Reduced learning (acquisition) of cognitive tasks
g.. Performance requiring divergent thinking deteriorates
h.. Response suppression errors increase in tasks primarily subserved by prefrontal cortex
i.. Response perseveration on ineffective solutions is more likely
j.. Increased compensatory effort is required to remain behaviorally
effective
k.. Tasks may be begun well, but performance deteriorates as task
duration increases
l.. There is growing neglect of activities judged to be nonessential
(loss of situational awareness)
