Intensive language learning and increases in rapid eye movement sleep: evidence of a performance factor
TLDR
There was a positive and significant correlation between language learning efficiency and increases in the percentage of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep from pre-course to course periods, which suggests that learning performance may be an important factor in the relationship between information processing and REM sleep.About:

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 role of sleep in learning and memory.
TL;DR: Evidence for the influence of sleep discharge patterns on memory traces remains fragmentary and the underlying role of sleep in learning and memory has yet to be precisely characterized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep, memory, and plasticity.
TL;DR: Findings from a large body of work on the role of sleep in memory encoding, memory consolidation, brain plasticity, and memory reconsolidation are reviewed, focusing specifically on sleep-dependent memory processing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep-Dependent Learning and Memory Consolidation
TL;DR: This review will provide evidence of sleep-dependent memory consolidation andSleep-dependent brain plasticity and is divided into five sections: an overview of sleep stages, memory categories, and the distinct stages of memory development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep, learning, and dreams: off-line memory reprocessing
TL;DR: Evidence supports a role for sleep in the consolidation of an array of learning and memory tasks and new methodologies allow the experimental manipulation of dream content at sleep onset, permitting an objective and scientific study of this dream formation and a renewed search for the possible functions of dreaming and the biological processes subserving it.

The function of dream sleep
TL;DR: It is proposed that the function of dream sleep is to remove certain undesirable modes of interaction in networks of cells in the cerebral cortex by a reverse learning mechanism, so that the trace in the brain of the unconscious dream is weakened, rather than strengthened, by the dream.

The Assessment of Bilingual Aphasia
Michel Paradis,Gary Libben +1 more
TL;DR: The Bilingual Aphasia Test (BAT) as discussed by the authors is a comprehensive language test designed to assess the differential loss or sparing of various language functions in previously bilingual individuals, where the individual is tested, separately, in each language he or she previously used, and then in the two languages simultaneously.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep states and learning: a review of the animal literature.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the data best support the idea of special periods of paradoxical sleep within the 24 hour period which are specifically involved with the learning process.

Paradoxical Sleep — A Study of its Nature and Mechanisms
TL;DR: In chronic pontile animals, with hypothalamic islands, the rhombencephalic phase of sleep, showing all the pontine electrical and behavioral criteria of P.S. in the intact animal, can be completely identified with the latter.
