Watch the NOVA video and read the primary research paper.
• In the video, we learn how sleep can help consolidate memory. How does the information in the video compare to the hypothesis stated in the paper?
• Saletin et al (2011) tested their participants immediately after learning words to be remembered (R) or forgotten (F). What did this immediate test show about the level of remembering vs the level of forgetting for the nap and no-nap groups?
• After a period of either napping or no-napping, the participants were tested on their ability to freely recall the words. How did the two groups (nap vs no-nap) compare in their abilities to recall the R vs F words? How did the results of the nap group correlate with the electrophysiological results? How is this work important?
