We have much more to learn about the relationships between napping and health in older adults.
Significant changes in sleep and circadian sleep-wake rhythms mark advancing age. Among these changes is the increasing prevalence of daytime and evening napping reported by older adults. The causes of such napping behavior and why it increases in prevalence with advancing age are unknown. No consistent relationships between complaints of nighttime sleep disruption and daytime napping have been...
متن کاملRunning head: RELATIONAL CATEGORIES ARE MORE MUTABLE 1 Relational Categories Are More Mutable than Entity Categories
Across three experiments, we explore differences between relational categories—whose members share common relational patterns—and entity categories, whose members share common intrinsic properties. Specifically, we test the claim that relational concepts are more semantically mutable in context, and therefore less stable in memory, than entity concepts. We compared memory for entity nouns and r...

متن کاملUsing Statistics to Learn Words and Grammatical Categories: How High Frequency Words Assist Language Acquisition
Recent studies suggest that high-frequency words may benefit speech segmentation (Bortfeld, Morgan, Golinkoff, & Rathbun, 2005) and grammatical categorisation (Monaghan, Christiansen, & Chater, 2007). To date, these tasks have been examined separately, but not together. We familiarised adults with continuous speech comprising repetitions of target words, and compared learning to a language in w...
