Sequential learning in neural networks: A review and a discussion of pseudorehearsal based methods (2004, unknown): “In [59] we argue that the pseudorehearsal based account is signiﬁcantly more plausible in terms of its cognitive predictions, neurological support, and evidence from an evolutionary perspective relating to the stabilisation of memory circuits.”
Sleep and the Price of Plasticity: From Synaptic and Cellular Homeostasis to Memory Consolidation and Integration (2014, background): “This result highlights a potential problem with the idea that sleep may help memory through ‘‘pseudorehearsal’’—the systematic ‘‘relearning’’ of both new and old memories by random reactivation and synaptic potentiation (Robins and McCallum, 1999).”
Self-refreshing memory in artificial neural networks: learning temporal sequences without catastrophic forgetting (2004, background): “As for the brain correlates of the self-generated pseudopatterns, Robins and colleagues (Robins 1996, Robins and McCallum 1999) have suggested that they could be related to spontaneous cortical reactivations observed during different sleep phases, in particular rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.”

Complementary Learning Systems (2014, background): “Moreover, it has been proposed that the endogenous activity of CA3 units equalizes the strengths of existing memories relative to newly added ones (Norman et al., 2005; Robins & McCallum, 1999).”
Sleep-Associated Changes in the Mental Representation of Spoken Words (2007, background): “According to some accounts, this interleaving process gradually transfers new information into long-term neocortical memory during sleep (French, 1999; Robins & McCallum, 1999; Wilson & McNaughton, 1994).”
