Dissociable learning-dependent changes in REM and non-REM sleep in declarative and procedural memory systems.
TLDR
These findings support the hypothesis that brain plasticity during sleep does not involve a unitary process; that is, different types of learning have unique sleep-related memory consolidation mechanisms that act in dissociable brain regions at different times throughout the night.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
The memory function of sleep
Susanne Diekelmann,Jan Born +1 more
TL;DR: Sleep has been identified as a state that optimizes the consolidation of newly acquired information in memory, depending on the specific conditions of learning and the timing of sleep, through specific patterns of neuromodulatory activity and electric field potential oscillations.
Journal ArticleDOI
About sleep's role in memory
Bjoern Rasch,Jan Born,Jan Born +2 more
TL;DR: This review aims to comprehensively cover the field of "sleep and memory" research by providing a historical perspective on concepts and a discussion of more recent key findings.
Journal ArticleDOI
The contribution of sleep to hippocampus-dependent memory consolidation.
Lisa Marshall,Jan Born +1 more
TL;DR: There is now compelling evidence that sleep promotes the long-term consolidation of declarative and procedural memories and that sleep preferentially consolidates explicit aspects of these memories, which during encoding are possibly associated with activation in prefrontal-hippocampal circuitry.
Journal ArticleDOI
The function of the sleep spindle: a physiological index of intelligence and a mechanism for sleep-dependent memory consolidation.
Stuart Fogel,Carlyle Smith +1 more
TL;DR: The findings reviewed here collectively provide a compelling body of evidence that the function of the sleep spindle is related to intellectual ability and memory consolidation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The whats and whens of sleep-dependent memory consolidation.
TL;DR: It is hypothesize that access to sleep-dependent consolidation requires memories to be encoded under control of prefrontal-hippocampal circuitry, with the same circuitry controlling subsequent consolidation during sleep.

The Hippocampus as a Cognitive Map
John O'Keefe,Lynn Nadel +1 more
TL;DR: The amnesic syndrome is presented as an extension of the theory to humans and the role of operators in the locale system is examined.

Statistical Methods for Psychology
TL;DR: The Statistical Methods for Psychology as discussed by the authors survey statistical techniques commonly used in the behavioral and social sciences, especially psychology and education, and is suitable for either a one-term or a full-year course, and has been used successfully for both.

A self-assessment questionnaire to determine morningness-eveningness in human circadian rhythms.
James Horne,Ostberg O +1 more
TL;DR: Although the questionnaire appears to be valid, further evaluation using a wider subject population is required, as sleep habits are an important déterminant of peak time there are other contibutory factors, and these appear to be partly covered by the questionnaire.

Emergence and characterization of sex differences in spatial ability: a meta-analysis.
Marcia C. Linn,Anne C. Petersen +1 more
TL;DR: Meta-analysis is used, a method for synthesizing empirical studies, to investigate sex differences in spatial ability and suggests that sex differences arise on some types of spatial ability but not others, and that, when sex differences are found, they can be detected across the life span.
