- A team of researchers studied the effects of sleep deprivation on decay of short-term memory. Eight participants stayed in a lab for 2 days. Four were randomly assigned not to sleep during that period. The other four were allowed to sleep when they wanted to do so. At the end of the 2 days, the participants completed a short-term memory task (use one-tailed test). Here are the results:
Mean Time (Seconds) for Remembering
| Sleep Deprived | Normal Sleep |
| 7 | 9 |
| 8 | 8 |
| 7 | 11 |
| 9 | 7 |
