It is widely believed that most visual tasks would be mostly susceptible to sleep deprivation due to the fact that iconic memory has a very short duration as well as a limited capacity (Raidy and Scharff 2005). One other suggestion is the fact that SD hinders spatial attention engagement, which can be viewed as hindrances in saccadic eye motions (Bocca and Denise 2006)
In tasks that are experimenter-paced, the outcomes would be quite opposites. Nevertheless, several studies have shown detrimental effects on both accuracy and speed (Chee and Choo 2004; Choo et al

All sleep deprivations that are related to any kind of disease-related disintegration like restless legs syndrome and sleep apnea equally lead to neurocognitive function reductions quite similar to those sleep restriction studies display. Function deficits related to sleep disorders are mostly seen as a mere function of severity of diseases; nevertheless, new experiments prove that the vulnerability of individuals to loss of sleep may play a more vital role than what was previously believed (Durmer & Dinges, 2005)
There are vast disparities among persons in the level of their cognitive susceptibility to sleep deprivation, which may include disparities in parietal and prefrontal cortices, and that may possibly have a bed rock in the genes responsible for the regulation of circadian rhythms and homeostasis. Therefore, this cognitive deficit, which has always been known to be a product of the seriousness of clinical sleep lapses may be a function of some genetic traits associated with different cognitive susceptivity to sleep deprivation (Goel, Rao, Durmer & Dinges, 2009)
2005). The accuracy/speed trade-off phenomenon is partly affected by age, gender, and individual differences in terms of style and response (Karakorpi et al
It raises critical thinking, errors in preservation, and difficulties with the utilization of new information in very complex tasks that require very innovative decision-making. Reduction in decision-making equally appears as a more variable function and applied approaches, atop being a riskier function (Killgore et al
A person's sense of judgement can also be impaired by sleepiness. It becomes difficult to make decisions because an individual cannot carry out adequate assessment of situations and cannot also choose the right set of behaviours (Peri, n
Other Cognitive Functions The visuomotor performance is impaired by sleep deprivation, which is measured with digit symbol substitution of tasks, maze tracing, trail-making or letter cancellation. It is widely believed that most visual tasks would be mostly susceptible to sleep deprivation due to the fact that iconic memory has a very short duration as well as a limited capacity (Raidy and Scharff 2005)
