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? A multiple regression model including N3 duration, Sleep Disruption Index, Sleep Fragmentation Index, and number of cues significantly predicted the recall cuing effect (r(17)=0.55, p=0.01), with significant coefficients for Sleep Fragmentation Index (p=0.01), Sleep Disruption Index (p=0.01), and number of name cues (p=0.02). → Whitmore 2022

Whitmore 2022¶
Whitmore, N. W., Bassard, A. M. & Paller, K. A. (2022). Targeted memory reactivation of face-name learning depends on ample and undisturbed slow-wave sleep. npj Science of Learning, 7:1. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41539-021-00119-2
q3 · i? · causal · r2
Multiple regression on data from the same nap experiment, motivated by high intercorrelations among N3 duration and the disruption measures (e.g., N3 duration vs Sleep Disruption Index r(22)=−0.6, p=0.002). Significant coefficients showed the measures represent correlated but separable facets of overall sleep quality.
"The overall regression model predicted the cuing effect on Δrecall [ r(17) = 0.55, p = 0.01]"
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Sleep — moderator: an instructional effect differs with it
Related Claims¶
- Sleep Disruption Index classifies TMR responders: participants with an index below 0.13 showed a positive recall cuing effect, those above did not show a significant one — related
- The TMR cuing effect on face recognition accuracy is associated with N3 sleep duration, though cueing did not significantly improve recognition overall — related
- The TMR cuing effect on name recall is positively correlated with the duration of stage N3 (slow-wave) sleep during the nap — related
- TMR benefits on name recall are negatively correlated with post-cue sleep disruption and post-cue beta-band EEG power, suggesting reactivation depends on undisturbed sleep — related
