Veksler and Gunzelmann (2018) argue that the vigilance decrement and the deleterious effects of sleep loss reflect functionally equivalent degradations in cognitive processing and performance. Our account is implemented in a cognitive architecture, where these factors produce breakdowns in goal-directed cognitive processing that we refer to as microlapses. Altmann (2018) raises a number of challenges to microlapses as a unified account of these deficits. Under scrutiny, however, the challenges do little to discredit the theory or conclusions in the original paper. In our response, we address the most serious challenges. In so doing, we provide additional support for the theory and mechanisms, and we highlight opportunities for extending their explanatory breadth.
韦克斯勒和贡策尔曼（2018年）认为，警觉性下降和睡眠不足的有害影响反映了认知加工和表现中功能上等效的退化。我们的解释是在一种认知架构中实现的，在这种架构中，这些因素会导致目标导向的认知加工出现故障，我们将其称为微失误。阿尔特曼（2018年）对微失误作为这些缺陷的统一解释提出了一些挑战。然而，经过仔细审查，这些挑战对原论文中的理论或结论几乎没有诋毁作用。在我们的回应中，我们应对了最严重的挑战。这样做时，我们为该理论和机制提供了额外的支持，并强调了扩展其解释范围的机会。
