“…Even though the association between sleepiness and IGT performance was not evident using the coarse metric of net score, changes in underlying cognitive processes were found when task performance was examined using the EV model. By breaking down the IGT into underlying component processes, this study begins to address the "task impurity problem" (Jackson et al, 2013) that has posed a challenge to research in cognitive effects of sleep deprivation , and joins a growing body of literature demonstrating that mathematical modeling can elucidate multiple factors underlying task performance during sleep loss (Ratcliff & Van Dongen, 2011.…”

“…Sleep deprivation results in performance decrements on tasks measuring various aspects of executive functioning, including response inhibition (Drummond, Paulus, & Tapert, 2006;Harrison, Jones, & Waterhouse, 2007), working memory (Groeger et al, 2008), resistance to distracting information ("filtering efficiency"; Drummond, Anderson, Straus, Vogel, & Perez, 2012), planning (Killgore, Kahn-Greene, Grugle, Killgore, & Balkin, 2009), and judgment/moral reasoning (Olsen, Pallesen, & Espevik, 2013). While deficits on complex executive functioning and decision-making tasks have been identified (Killgore, Balkin, & Wesensten, 2006;Killgore, Grugle, & Balkin, 2012;Killgore, Lipizzi, Kamimori, & Balkin, 2007), it is unclear whether these are related to specific disturbances in executive functioning or to more basic underlying cognitive processes such as sustained attention that also contribute to overall performance on these tasks (Jackson et al, 2013;Tucker, Whitney, Belenky, Hinson, & Van Dongen, 2010).…”

Sleep deprivation is associated with performance decrements on some measures of executive functioning. For instance, sleep deprivation results in altered decision making on the Iowa Gambling Task. However, it is unclear which component processes of the task may be driving the effect. In this study, Iowa Gambling task performance was decomposed using the Expectancy-Valence model. Recent sleep debt and greater daytime sleepiness were associated with higher scores on the updating parameter, which reflects the extent to which recent experiences are emphasized over remote ones. Findings suggest that the effects of insufficient sleep on IGT performance are due to shortening of the time horizon over which decisions are integrated. These findings may have clinical implications in that individuals with sleep problems may not integrate more temporally distant information when making decisions.

745Sleep Deprivation and Decision Making-Whitney et al. INTRODUCTIONThe effect of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance is not uniform. 1 In laboratory studies, sleep deprivation has consistently been shown to substantially degrade vigilance and sustained attention, whereas its effects on demanding tests of complex cognition such as decision making appear to be inconsistent and relatively small. 2,3 Paradoxically, in the natural environment there are well-documented deficits in decision making due to sleep deprivation. 4,5 In emergency response, disaster management, military encounters, and other fast-paced situations with uncertain outcomes and imperfect information, good decision making is significantly hampered by sleep deprivation. 6-8Although the lapses of sustained attention that are characteristic of sleep deprivation contribute to errors and accidents, 3,8 attentional lapses are not the whole story of sleep deprivation effects on naturalistic decision making. The laboratory tasks often used to examine sleep deprivation effects on decisions typically do not include elements of updating information over Study Objectives: To better understand the sometimes catastrophic effects of sleep loss on naturalistic decision making, we investigated effects of sleep deprivation on decision making in a reversal learning paradigm requiring acquisition and updating of information based on outcome feedback. Design: Subjects were randomized to a sleep deprivation or control condition, with performance testing at baseline, after 2 nights of total sleep deprivation (or rested control), and following 2 nights of recovery sleep. Subjects performed a decision task involving initial learning of go and no go response sets followed by unannounced reversal of contingencies, requiring use of outcome feedback for decisions. A working memory scanning task and psychomotor vigilance test were also administered. Setting: Six consecutive days and nights in a controlled laboratory environment with continuous behavioral monitoring. Subjects: Twenty-six subjects (22-40 y of age; 10 women). Interventions: Thirteen subjects were randomized to a 62-h total sleep deprivation condition; the others were controls. Results: Unlike controls, sleep deprived subjects had difficulty with initial learning of go and no go stimuli sets and had profound impairment adapting to reversal. Skin conductance responses to outcome feedback were diminished, indicating blunted affective reactions to feedback accompanying sleep deprivation. Working memory scanning performance was not significantly affected by sleep deprivation. And although sleep deprived subjects showed expected attentional lapses, these could not account for impairments in reversal learning decision making. Conclusions: Sleep deprivation is particularly problematic for decision making involving uncertainty and unexpected change. Blunted reactions to feedback while sleep deprived underlie failures to adapt to uncertainty and changing contingencies. Thus, an error may register, but with diminishe...

“…Furthermore, computational modelling in cognitive architectures has been employed to simulate sleep-deprived cognitive performance on the basis of the constituent cognitive processes. These efforts are beginning to enable quantitative prediction of the effects of sleep deprivation to be made across different task contexts [19].…”
