Sleep loss, learning capacity and academic performance. (2006, background): “Interestingly, no performance improvement was observed after one night of sleep deprivation followed by two recovery nights, suggesting that sleep during the first posttraining night is mandatory for memory trace formation in this task.(35) However, another study comparing retention rates following ”
Sleep prevents catastrophic forgetting in spiking neural networks by forming a joint synaptic weight representation (2022, background): “In particular, REM sleep has been shown to be important for the consolidation of memories of hippocampus-independent tasks involving perceptual pattern separation, such as the texture discrimination task [16,46].”
REM sleep and dreaming: towards a theory of protoconsciousness (2009, background): “These facts are consistent with the persistence of REM sleep in mature individuals, whose dreams are evidence of the ongoing importance of REM for brain–mind maintenance and reconstructio”
Sleep to Remember (2006, background): “Thus, consolidation counteracts forgetting due to the decay of the fresh trace or retroactive interference from subsequently encoded material (Wixted 2004).”
Perception and Production of Syncopated Rhythms (2007, methodology): “similar to those used in the studies cited above (see Stickgold, James, & Hobson, 2000 ) may be useful”
The contribution of sleep to hippocampus-dependent memory consolidation. (2007, methodology): “For some tasks, like the visual texture discrimination task, sleep after training seems to be mandatory for this type of gain [13, 14 ].”
The cognitive neuroscience of sleep: neuronal systems, consciousness and learning (2002, background): “8c ), and subsequent nights of sleep produce additional improvement even without further trainin”
Video Games and Spatial Cognition (2010, background): “In general, positive change (learning) can be produced by repetition on a wide variety of perceptual tasks, and the behavioral effects can be long lasting (e.g., Karni & Sagi, 1991; Stickgold, James, & Hobson, 2000).”
Affect and Creativity at Work (2005, background): “…that people’s experiences while awake can be consolidated into memory and result in enhanced performance the next day without any additional practice or engagement in the task (Karni et al., 1994; Maquet et al., 2000; Stickgold, James, and Hobson, 2000; Walker et al., 2003; Gaab et al., 2004).”
Sleep enhances category learning. (2009, background): “tapping sequences and visual discrimination tasks (Karni et al. 1994; Gais et al. 2000; Stickgold et al. 2000; Walker et al. 2002; Huber et al. 2004).”
Sleep-dependent learning and motor-skill complexity. (2004, background): “Evidence of sleep-dependent procedural skill learning has now been demonstrated across a wide variety of skill domains, including visual (Karni et al. 1994; Gais et al. 2000; Stickgold et al. 2000a, b), auditory (Atienza et al. 2004; Gaab et al. 2004), and motor (Smith and MacNeill 1994; Fischer et”
The organization of recent and remote memories (2005, background): “For example, brief naps or overnight sleep improve various forms of non-declarative memory including motor skills, visual and texture discrimination learnin”
