Subclaims¶

q3 i? In the group reporting awakenings caused by word stimulation, TMR significantly impaired memory for cued relative to uncued words. → 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

Paired t test within the n = 19 group reporting awakenings by word stimulation; cued words showed "154.84 ± 9.78%" vs 172.30 ± 13.49% for uncued, t(18) = 2.20, P = 0.041. Impairment remained significant after excluding one outlier (P = 0.049).

"participants who had reported awakenings by the word stimulation during sleep overall exhibited a significant impairment by TMR by ca. 17% (cued: 154.84 ± 9.78% vs. uncued: 172.30 ± 13.49%, t(18) = 2.20, P = 0.041)"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Sleep — moderator: an instructional effect differs with it
