Implicit Memory and REM Sleep: A Pilot Study
نویسنده
چکیده
Jenkins and Dallenbach (1) carried out the first study in this field. They found retention to be considerably better for subjects who slept immediately after learning compared to subjects who were awake for an equal interval. Since then, this finding has been replicated (2,3,4). More recent investigations were aimed at specifying the stage of sleep that would be responsible for this beneficial effect on retention. It was found that performances were enhanced if learning had been followed by a period of REM sleep instead of another stage of sleep (5,6).

Spatial Learning Paradigm Can Increase Post-Stress Total Time of REM Sleep in Immobilized Rats
Background & Objective: Stress contributes to sleep-wake behavior in all animals. It seems that factors such as learning and memory processes can improve sleep disorders. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the effects of stress and learning (spatial memory) on total post-stress rapid-eye-movement (REM), non-rapid-eye-movement (NREM) and waking time in rats. Materials & Met...

Background: Sleep is a universal circadian biological rhythm which is seen among all vertebrate and has two separate steps including REM and Non-REM. Total or partial sleep deprivation would lead to cognitive dysfunction. It seems that the cognitive dysfunction following sleep deprivation is resulted from cellular changes in certain area involved in this phenomenon. Regarding the role of ...

Introduction: The purpose of this research was to compare the effect of sleep and consciousness on consolidation based on implicit motor memory enhancement among youth, middle-aged and elderly. Materials and Methods: The sample statistic consisted of 120 (youth, middle-aged and elderly) healthy and right-handed volunteers (40 people from each age group). The groups were availability selected an...
متن کاملShifting from implicit to explicit knowledge: different roles of early- and late-night sleep.
Sleep has been shown to promote the generation of explicit knowledge as indicated by the gain of insight into previously unrecognized task regularities. Here, we explored whether this generation of explicit knowledge depends on pre-sleep implicit knowledge, and specified the differential roles of slow-wave sleep (SWS) vs. rapid eye movement (REM) sleep in this process. Implicit and explicit kno...
متن کاملThe role of sleep on children's motor memory consolidation in a motor sequence task
Sleep has been shown to affect the consolidation of motor memory in adults. However, sleep-dependent consolidation is not well-specified in children as like as adults. So, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of sleep on childrenchr('39')s motor memory consolidation. The participants were 32 voluntary boys aging from 10 to 12 years old from city of Kerman, which had the necess...
