Participants in their study first completed two tasks, a placekeeping task [UNRAVEL] and a Psychomotor Vigilance Task [PVT] and then were randomly assigned to either stay up all night in the lab, or go home to sleep. The next morning, the sleep group returned to the lab and all participants were randomly assigned to consume either a placebo or 200 mg of caffeine in capsule form. Participants then completed the two tasks again. Findings showed that sleep deprivation impaired performance on both tasks, but caffeine improved performance in the PVT but not the UNRAVEL task. Based only on information provided above and the graphic figure below...
