Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? Forgetting ratios were similar for cues that caused an arousal, cues that did not, and uncued objects. → Nathan W. Whitmore 2024

Nathan W. Whitmore 2024¶
Nathan W. Whitmore, Erika M. Yamazaki & Ken A. Paller. (2024). Targeted memory reactivation with sleep disruption does not weaken week-old memories. npj Science of Learning 9, 64. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41539-024-00276-0
q3 · i? · causal · r2
Kruskal-Wallis comparison with arousal scored offline from EEG by the AASM rule; 62% of cues caused an arousal and 38% did not, similar to the prior study (57.9% and 43.0%).
"the forgetting ratio for cues that caused an arousal, cues that did not cause an arousal, and uncued objects, was similar [(H(2) = 2.21,p = 0.34]."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- TMR-SD auditory cues presented during sleep did not reliably weaken week-old spatial memories compared to uncued objects — related
- Sleep-stage durations, sleep fragmentation, and pre- and post-cue EEG band power were not significantly correlated with forgetting of cued items or the TMR-SD effect — related
- The TMR-SD memory effect differed by post-learning delay: memory weakening occurred with a 1-hour delay but not with a 1-week delay — related
