Sleep and Athletic Performance: The Effects of Sleep Loss on Exercise Performance, and Physiological and Cognitive Responses to Exercise (2015, result): “For example, several studies showed improvements in motor task tests after a night of sleep, whereas this was not the case in subjects having an equivalent period of being awake [36, 46–48].”
Brain plasticity related to the consolidation of motor sequence learning and motor adaptation (2010, background): “Gains in performance on motor sequence learning have also been demonstrated after diurnal sleep (3) or following an afternoon nap of 90 min (16), hence suggesting further that the present results are probably not due to circadian effects, but rather to the sleep-dependent consolidation process of a ”
Sleep-dependent learning and motor-skill complexity. (2004, background): “From these findings, we therefore consider the most reasonable explanation for the preferential overnight improvement of the most difficult transition as being specifically related to the process of sleep-dependent memory enhancement itself (Fischer et al. 2002; Walker et al. 2002, 2003a,b).”
Neuroplasticity subserving motor skill learning (2011, neutral): “In humans, offline skill improvementsmay be affected by sleep (e.g., Diekelmann and Born, 2010; Fischer et al., 2002; Korman et al., 2003).”
Sleep-dependent memory consolidation and reconsolidation. (2007, background): “experience-dependent synaptic changes, a pattern seen as well in humans, albeit at the behavioral level [19,42].”
ReviewMemory Consolidation in Sleep: Dream or Reality (2004, methodology): “There has been a recent shift in research paradigms 2A), whereas for Fischer et al. (2002), improvements in waking were highly statistically significant (daytimein this area from perceptual learning to motor learning.”
Sleep inspires insight (2004, critical): “Our reaction time data argue against the view that the qualitative change evolves from a sleep-dependent strengthening of procedural (implicit) memories, which in sequential motor tasks expresses itself in distinctly accelerated reaction time”
Sleeping on the motor engram: The multifaceted nature of sleep‐related motor memory consolidation (2017, neutral): “, (Albouy et al., 2016; Backhaus et al., 2016; Fischer et al., 2002; Holz et al., 2012; Nettersheim et al., 2015)] and there is evidence based on targeted memory reactivation studies (Section 4.”
Sleep (2007, background): “, 2002), which is disputed by procedurally similar studies claiming that REM sleep rather than stage 2 was important (Fischer et al., 2002).”
Sleep spindles predict neural and behavioral changes in motor sequence consolidation (2013, methodology): “gains in performance on a similar sequence task have previously been shown after diurnal sleep [Fischer et al., 2002] or following a daytime nap [Korman et al.”
About sleep's role in memory. (2013, background): “, the subjects are aware about the skill to be acquired) (383, 664, 1285) compared with implicit learning conditions (385, 1003, 1122, 1128).”
Neuromodulation of brain states. (2012, positive): “Several studies on human subjects have shown that sleep shortly after practicing visual discrimination (Gais et al., 2000; Stickgold et al., 2000) or motor skills (Fischer et al., 2002; Walker et al., 2002) can significantly enhance the practice-induced improvement in task performance.”
