Maximizing sensitivity of the psychomotor vigilance test (PVT) to sleep loss.
STUDY OBJECTIVES The psychomotor vigilance test (PVT) is among the most widely used measures of behavioral alertness, but there is large variation among published studies in PVT performance outcomes and test durations. To promote standardization of the PVT and increase its sensitivity and specificity to sleep loss, we determined PVT metrics and task durations that optimally discriminated sleep ...
متن کاملValidity and Sensitivity of a Brief Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT-B) to Total and Partial Sleep Deprivation.
The Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT) objectively assesses fatigue-related changes in alertness associated with sleep loss, extended wakefulness, circadian misalignment, and time on task. The standard 10-min PVT is often considered impractical in applied contexts. To address this limitation, we developed a modified brief 3-min version of the PVT (PVT-B). The PVT-B was validated in controlled lab...
متن کاملComparing Accounts of Psychomotor Vigilance Impairment Due to Sleep Loss
The effects of fatigue on cognitive processing are not fully understood. Computational modeling research has led to two distinct accounts of fatigue, and specifically its effects on psychomotor vigilance performance, which are both supported by empirical findings. The first account is based on ACT-R and posits that fatigue increases the probability of microlapses. A biomathmatical model of fati...
متن کاملThe sensitivity of a palm-based psychomotor vigilance task to severe sleep loss.
In this study, we evaluated the sensitivity of a 5-min personal digital assistant-psychomotor vigilance test (PDA-PVT) to severe sleep loss. Twenty-one participants completed a 10-min PVT-192 and a 5-min PDA-PVT at two hourly intervals during 62 h of sustained wakefulness. For both tasks, response speed and number of lapses (RTs > 500) per minute significantly increased with increasing hours of...
متن کاملSleep, circadian rhythms, and psychomotor vigilance.
Psychomotor vigilance performance is highly relevant to athletic performance. It is influenced by a sleep homeostatic process, which builds up pressure for sleep during wakefulness and dissipates this pressure during sleep, and a circadian rhythm process, which produces a waxing and waning of pressure for wakefulness over a 24 hours of the day. During total sleep deprivation, these two processe...
