Slow wave sleep and recollection in recognition memory
Abstract
Recognition memory performance reflects two distinct memory processes: a conscious process of recollection, which allows remembering specific details of a previous event, and familiarity, which emerges in the absence of any conscious information about the context in which the event occurred. Slow wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep are differentially involved in the consolidation of different types of memory. The study assessed the effects of SWS and REM sleep on recollection, by means of the "remember"/"know" paradigm. Subjects studied three blocks of 12 words before a 3-h retention interval filled with SWS, REM sleep or wakefulness, placed between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. Afterwards, recognition and recollection were tested. Recollection was higher after a retention interval rich in SWS than after a retention interval rich in REM sleep or filled with wakefulness. The results suggest that SWS facilitates the process of recollection in recognition memory.

Early SWS-rich sleep enhances recollection of words compared with late REM-rich sleep or wake intervals, while familiarity-based recognition remains unaffected.
“Two studies found enhanced recollection (of words) after early, SWS-rich sleep, compared with a late REM-rich sleep or wake intervals, while familiarity-based recognition measures remained unaffected (265,326).”

Effects of early SWS-rich sleep on declarative memory are more consistent with free or cued recall measures than with recognition measures.
“Improving the effects of early SWS-rich sleep on declarative memory appeared to be overall more consistent with free (or cued) recall measures than with recognition measures of memory (265, 326, 667, 966; see Ref. 297, for a review), possibly reflecting that unlike recollection, familiarity based recognition taps to a greater extent implicit components of these memories (1343,1344).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
