Abstract
The objective of this study was to examine whether or
not relatively short period of sleep deprivation will
degrade cognitive skills. Using the Position Analysis
Questionnaire (PAQ) two critical submarine jobs were
analyzed to reveal the main attributes of the jobs and then
the Automated Portable Test System battery (APTS) was used
to simulate these attributes. The PAQ analysis snowed
clearly that the cognitive skills (Estimation, Mental
process and decision making) were essential for these jobs
(i.e., Torpedo Data Control Unit operator and Sonar operator
jobs) .
The results showed that subjects were highly sensitive
to the sleep loss and their cognitive performance degraded
as a function of 36 hours of sleep deprivation and time of
sleep deprivation.
