0092 Sleep Deprivation Leads to Fragmented Memory Loss

[摘要] IntroductionForgetting is moderated by post-learning sleep, indicating that newly formed memories benefit from sleep-associated consolidation. Although rates of forgetting after a single day of wakefulness are well established, how prolonged periods of sleep deprivation impact on retrieval are unclear. Moreover, whether extended sleep restriction influences the qualitative nature of forgetting is yet to be established. In two experiments, we examined the effects of normal and protracted sleep loss on forgetting.
