Replay in Deep Learning: Current Approaches and Missing Biological Elements (2021, positive): “…it unitizes distinct memories for easier storage (Haskins et al., 2008; Bader et al., 2010; Tibon et al., 2014; Kuriyama, Stickgold, & Walker, 2004; Ellenbogen, Hu, Payne, Titone, & Walker, 2007), (2) assimilates new memories into existing networks (Walker, Liston, Hobson, & Stickgold, 2002;…”
About sleep's role in memory. (2013, background): “The hypothesis that sleep supports the formation of longterm memory in an active system consolidation process has been elaborated in several previous reviews (293, 345, 734, 828, 957, 958, 984, 988, 1284, 1305).”
What Learning Systems do Intelligent Agents Need? Complementary Learning Systems Theory Updated. (2016, positive): “As key examples, some studies have reported increased levels of linking inferences [175], and others have reported increased lexical competition and related phenomena [109,176] attributed to a single sleep session.”
Sleep spindle activity is associated with the integration of new memories and existing knowledge (2010, background): “This integration process has so far been assessed in terms of the extent to which separate new pieces of information are combined into a more structured whole (Ellenbogen et al., 2007).”
Sleep for cognitive enhancement (2014, background): “Although in many cases this a positive effect, for example generating insight (Wagner et al., 2004), drawing relational inferences (Ellenbogen et al., 2007) and abstracting schemas (Lewis and Durrant, 2011), it can also lead to the generation of memory distortions and false memories (Payne et al.,…”
Integrating memories to guide decisions (2015, background): “Night time sleep also seems to specifically enhance such integration, as shown using a transitive inference task in humans [51].”
Sleep’s Role in the Consolidation of Emotional Episodic Memories (2010, positive): “…to flexible restructuring of memory traces so that insights can be made (Wagner, Gais, Haider, Verleger, & Born, 2004); inferences can be drawn (Ellenbogen et al., 2007); integration and abstraction can occur (Payne et al., 2009); and, importantly for our purposes, emotionally salient aspects…”
How Memory Replay in Sleep Boosts Creative Problem-Solving (2018, background): “Such processing can provide mental clarity and facilitate creative problem-solving by promoting the comprehension of an overall structure or the extraction of hidden regularities or ‘gist’ [4,11,12].”
Sleep enhances category learning. (2009, background): “more complex memory tasks, such as probabilistic category learning (Smith and Smith 2003; Wagner et al. 2004; Ellenbogen et al. 2007).”
The hippocampus and inferential reasoning: building memories to navigate future decisions (2012, background): “However, one study using the transitive inference paradigm directly examined whether or not sleep enhances inferential reasoning ability (Ellenbogen et al., 2007).”
The Role of Sleep in Cognition and Emotion (2009, background): “Perhaps the earliest demonstration that sleep may be involved in a form of memory generalization was by Fenn et al. (2003).”
