Note—a, upper boundary of accumulation of information over time; Ter, mean of the distribution of times taken up by the nondecision component, in seconds. η, sz, and st represent across-trial variability in drift rate, in starting point, and in the nondecision component, respectively. v1, v2, v3, and v4 represent the four distinct drift-rate parameters for the eight numerosity categories (see the text for details). po, proportion of contaminants; vc, drift criterion; z, starting point of accumulation of information over time. Session 1, baseline; Session 2, sleep-deprived (or control); Session 3, recovery. Group × session interactions are as follows: For a, F(2,46) = 7.40; for Ter, F(2,46) = 4.20; for η, F(2,46) = 2.34; for sz, F(2,46) = 7.04; for v1, F(2,46) = 8.77; for v2, F(2,46) = 10.39; for v3, F(2,46) = 6.07; for po, F(2,46) = 8.08; for st, F(2,46) = 4.2. The critical value was F.95(2,46) = 3.2.
