Stages of Sleep/Sleep Cycle
How many stages of sleep are there?
4 stages
What brain region is most associated with declarative memory?
What is the Hippocampus?
From Schreiner & Rasch (2015), verbal cueing most effective when?
During sleep
Which of the following words was NOT a part of the initial list? Nap / Brain / Synapse / Melatonin / Memory / Dreams
What is Synapse?
The steps of learning.
What are acquisition, consolidation, and recall?
The stabilization of memory of gathered information.
What is a consolidation?
Is it better to study the morning of the exam or the night before (assuming no sleep is lost from getting up early or going to bed later)?
The night before
The model organisms discussed in the presentation
What is a Zebrafish or What is a mouse?
The stage of sleep where insight learning often occurs.
What is REM sleep?
The term for the consistent strengthening of synaptic connections
What is Long Term Potentiation?
Olfactory cueing can enhance learning. As discussed in the second video, neuroscientists found that participants were better at remembering the locations of objects in a room when they released this fragrance while participants observed the locations of objects, and again while they slept.
Roses
What steps of learning does sleep deprivation impact?
Encoding, Storage, and Retrieval
During which stage of sleep is there the least brain activity?
NREM3
Explicit memories like names and facts vs implicit memories used to perform everyday tasks
What is the difference between declarative and procedural memory?
In the study discussed in the video, people who learned 120 words in a new language, and then listened to verbal cues during their sleep, remembered ___% more words than the group who did not receive verbal cues in their sleep.
10%
Does sleep have more of a proven impact on the ability to remember things or to do things?
Doing things
In what type of sleep does research suggest memory consolidation takes place within the first few hours of sleep?
slow-wave sleep
How can you learn new information in your sleep?
You can NOT
Most research agrees that declarative memories are consolidated in Stage 2, NREM sleep, while procedural memories are consolidated in REM sleep. The majority of these two sleep stages occur in what half of the sleep cycle?
The second half
How does sleep deprivation affect long-term potentiation?
Overworked neurons cause decreased neural function
