Reconsidering the role of sleep for motor memory.
Abstract
Previous studies suggest that sleep may play an important role in memory consolidation of motor skills. It has been difficult, however, to tease apart the effect of sleep from circadian and homeostatic factors. We examined the effect of sleep on a popular motor sequence task, utilizing a design that controlled for time of day and time since sleep between wake and sleep groups. When these factors were controlled, there was no benefit of sleep to motor memory, suggesting that previous work may have been influenced by circadian and homeostatic confounds.

Sleep after learning benefits nondeclarative procedural memory.
“In fact, at a purely behavioral level, numerous studies have demonstrated that sleep after learning benefits declarative (17,18,60,63,79,290,326,327,343,348,350,376,408,427,431,478,479,547,560,571,574,592,603,682,732,735,861,898,930,932,959,1069,1172,1192,1217,1274,1276,1278,1282,1302) as well as nondeclarative kinds of procedural memory (135,147,164,311,322,374,383,435,447,563,602,631,664,679,733”

No sleep-dependent gains in procedural motor tasks occur when circadian and homeostatic influences are controlled.
“Furthermore, some studies reported that no sleep-dependent gains in procedural motor tasks occur when circadian and homeostatic influences (e.g., time of day, time since sleep) are controlled (164, 991, 995).”

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.
