摘要
Purpose: The function of working memory (WM) is impaired by total sleep deprivation (TSD) and cognitive load. However, it is unclear whether the load modulates the effect of TSD on WM. We conducted a pilot study to investigate the effects of 36 h of TSD on WM under different load levels. Materials and methods: Twenty-two male students aged 18-25 years were enrolled, who underwent two types of sleep conditions (baseline and 36 h TSD), where they performed two N-back WM tasks (one-back task and two-back task) with simultaneous electroencephalography recordings. Results: Repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated that, with the increasing load, the reaction time increased and the accuracy decreased. After TSD, the correct number per unit time decreased. The significant interaction effect of the P3 amplitudes between the load level and the sleep condition showed that the reduction in the amplitude of P3 in the two-back task due to TSD was more obvious than that in the one-back task. Conclusions: Our results provided evidence for the moderation of load on the impairment of TSD on WM. The degree of TSD-induced impairment for a higher load was greater than that for a lower load. The current study provides new insights into the mechanisms by which sleep deprivation affects cognitive function.
