Abstract
We have all fallen victim to the tolls of sleep deprivation, but what effects does that have on your memory? For this meta-analysis, we located 20 research articles, from PsycInfo, that measured sleep deprivation’s effect on various forms of memory. Sleep deprivation has a very large effect on short-term memory (d = 1.04), a large effect on retention (d = 0.75), and a moderate effect on long-term memory (d = 0.51). These results indicate that sleep deprivation has the greatest effect on short term memory.
