Remembering to Execute a Goal: Sleep on It!
Abstract
Remembering to execute deferred goals (prospective memory) is a ubiquitous memory challenge, and one that is often not successfully accomplished. Could sleeping after goal encoding promote later execution? We evaluated this possibility by instructing participants to execute a prospective memory goal after a short delay (20 min), a 12-hr wake delay, or a 12-hr sleep delay. Goal execution declined after the 12-hr wake delay relative to the short delay. In contrast, goal execution was relatively preserved after the 12-hr sleep delay relative to the short delay. The sleep-enhanced goal execution was not accompanied by a decline in performance of an ongoing task in which the prospective memory goal was embedded, which suggests that the effect was not a consequence of attentional resources being reallocated from the ongoing task to the prospective memory goal. Our results suggest that consolidation processes active during sleep increase the probability that a goal will be spontaneously retrieved and executed.

“Sleep has also been proposed to especially benefit memory for information needed in the near future [[23] although see Wamsley et al. [24]], and intentions to perform specific actions in the future [25, 26].”
From Constructive episodic simulation in dreams (2022) · cites this paper as [26]
In the citing paper
“Similar to the preferential influence on relevant memories, sleep after encoding benefited the memory to perform an intended action at a designated time (298, 1056), suggesting an enhancing effect of sleep also on prospective memory for future plans.”

In the citing paper
“A third factor that was consistently found to favor the sleepdependent strengthening of a memory is the relevance of an encoded memory for an individual's future plans (218,298,380,1056,1236,1319).”

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.
