q3 i? Cue-related sleep disruption (Sleep Disruption Index) was negatively correlated with the cuing effect on Δrecall (χ²(1,N=24)=3.98, p=0.046), with only a trend for the Sleep Fragmentation Index (p=0.109). → Whitmore 2022 q3 i? Cue-evoked power in the highest beta band (17.03–20.35 Hz) was negatively correlated with the cuing effect (χ²(1,N=24)=10.1, p=0.0015): a greater cuing effect was seen with less beta power after a cue. → Whitmore 2022 (2)

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Correlational analysis in the same nap experiment using a newly developed Sleep Disruption Index summing absolute EEG power change at Cz from 0.38 to 20.35 Hz during the 5 seconds after cue onset relative to the 5 prior seconds.

"cue-related sleep disruption, as assessed by the Sleep Disruption Index, was negatively correlated with the cuing effect on Δrecall [χ² (1,N = 24) = 3.98, p = 0.046]"

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Secondary frequency-band analysis dividing the 0.38–20.35 Hz spectrum into six 3.33-Hz-wide bands and correlating cue-evoked power in each band with the recall cuing effect. Marginal negative correlations appeared in lower alpha (p=0.05) and lower beta (p=0.06) bands.

"Cue-evoked power in the highest beta band (17.03 –20.35 Hz) was negatively correlated with the cuing effect; a greater cuing effect was seen with less beta power after a cue [ χ² (1,N = 24) = 10.1, p = 0.0015"

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
• N3 duration, cuing, and sleep-disruption measures are intercorrelated but represent separable facets of sleep quality in predicting the recall cuing effect — related
• The TMR cuing effect on name recall is positively correlated with the duration of stage N3 (slow-wave) sleep during the nap — related
• The TMR cuing effect on face recognition accuracy is associated with N3 sleep duration, though cueing did not significantly improve recognition overall — related
