| Summary: | A substantial number of studies support the role of sleep deprivation (SD) on
sleep-dependent memory processing. Our present study investigated the effect
of Total Sleep Deprivation (TSD) on Visual Sequential Memory (VSM).
Two-randomized group design was followed to collect the data where experimental
group (33 adults) was kept totally sleep deprived for 24 hours a day
and the control group (36 adults) was not. A subtest of Test of Memory and
Learning (Reynolds & Bigler, 1994) was used to measure VSM. Results revealed
a significant decline in VSM for TSD (t = 3.914, p < 0.001). Findings
are discussed in the light of previous findings and theories in that VSM is the
capability of an individual to perceive the visual properties of an object by
eyes, a skill vitally necessary for many areas of work, like visual tracking, air
traffic controlling, military task, marksmanship, screening, surgery, healthcare
service, policing and so on. |
