Answer:

Dependent-sample t test.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dependent sample t-test is used when the observations or cases in one sample are linked with the cases in the other sample. That psychologist' group of subjects would work as a link in the measure of working memory influenced by sleep loss and the nature of humans.
