Visual Discrimination Task Improvement: A Multi-Step Process Occurring During Sleep
@article{Stickgold2000VisualDT, title={Visual Discrimination Task Improvement: A Multi-Step Process Occurring During Sleep}, author={R. Stickgold and Dana Whidbee and B. Schirmer and V. Patel and J. Hobson}, journal={Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience}, year={2000}, volume={12}, pages={246-254} }
Performance on a visual discrimination task shows longterm improvement after a single training session. When tested within 24 hr of training, improvement, was not observed unless subjects obtained at least 6 hr of postraining sleep prior to retesting, in which case improvement was proportional to the amount of sleep in excess of 6 hr. For subjects averaging 8 hr of sleep, overnight improvement was proportional to the amount of slow wave sleep (SWS) in the first quarter of the night, as well as… CONTINUE READING
