Auditory attention and multiattribute decision-making during a 33 h sleep-deprivation period: mean performance and between- subject dispersions

摘要

One purpose of this study was to compare attention the evening (22:00 h), in the late nigh (04:00 h), in the morning (10:00) and in the afternoon (16:00 h) during a period of complete wakeuflness beginning at 08:00 h with a mean daytime performance without sleep deprivation. Another purpose was to investigate sleep deprivation effects on a multi-attribute decision-making task with and without time pressure. Twelve sleep-deprived male students were compared with 12 male non-sleep-deprived students.
