BL, in baseline; SD, after sleep deprivation; Stroop, Stroop test; CRTT, Competitive Reaction Time Task; IGT, Iowa Gambling Task, college athletes made a total of 30 choices, while professional athletes made a total of 60 choices; Con RT, the response time under color–word congruent stimuli in Stroop; Icon RT, the response time under color–word incongruent stimuli in Stroop; noise intensity, the selection of noise intensities in CRTT; RT, the response time in CRTT; AB, A or B solitaire selection probability; amount, final winning amount; Δ, the change of them after sleep deprivation from that in baseline. pFDR, p-value after false discovery rate. The significance of bold values represents p < 0.05.
