The younger subjects have the larger subjective decrements while the older subjects had the larger decrements on the persistence tasks and the results were mixed on the precision and cognitively demanding tasks.
Abstract
ABSTRACT Subjective, persistence/attention, precision, and cognitively demanding measures were obtained across two nights' sleep deprivation to compare the performance of 50–59 and 18–22 yr old men. The younger subjects had the larger subjective decrements while the older subjects had the larger decrements on the persistence tasks. The results were mixed on the precision and cognitively demanding tasks.
