Iterative processing of information during sleep may improve consolidation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 September 2001
Abstract
The relationship between sleep and memory has been controversial since the 1950s. Studies on delayed dream recall and long-term retention of pre-sleep stimuli indicate that sleep may have a positive role in the consolidation of information. This positive indication counterbalances the negative one from the studies on the effects of REM deprivation.
