Subclaims¶

q3 i? Subjective sleep quality was significantly lower in TMR nights 1 and 2 than in the unstimulated control night, with a linear increase across nights. → Göldi 2019

Evidence¶

Göldi 2019¶

Göldi, M. & Rasch, B. (2019). Effects of targeted memory reactivation during sleep at home depend on sleep disturbances and habituation. npj Science of Learning 4:5. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41539-019-0044-2

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Subjective SF-A/R sleep-quality ratings (0–4 scale) in 66 participants; night 1 rated "2.23 ± 0.12" vs 3.04 ± 0.08 on the control night, t(65) = 5.70, P < 0.001; the linear increase across nights had η2 = 0.32; night 3 did not differ from baseline (P > 0.10); sleep duration did not differ.

"Participants rated their subjective sleep quality significantly lower in the first experimental night (2.23 ± 0.12) as compared to the night without tone stimulation (3.04 ± 0.08; t(65) = 5.70, P < 0.001)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Sleep — outcome: instruction changes it
