Sleep-dependent gains may not equally occur for all types of skills.
“However, sleep-dependent gains may not equally occur for all types of skills (e.g., Refs. 221, 1002Refs. 221, , 1015)).”
From About Sleep's Role in Memory (2013) · cites this paper as [1002]
Gains in skill measured with reference to performance at end of training can occur within a few hours after training in absence of sleep, and may partly reflect a recovery process independent of sleep.
“Moreover, recent studies have shown that such gains in skill that are typically measured with reference to the performance level at the end of training, can occur also within a few hours after training in the absence of sleep, and may thus partly reflect a recovery process that is independent of sleep (364,573,(1002)(1003)(1004).”

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.
