Description

Carolin Konrad leads a team on sleep and memory in four year olds. Their study from twenty twenty-six asks who did what in a learned task. Sleep helps memory firm up across the whole life span.

Kids did a social learning task at varied times of day. That changed the gap between learning and night sleep. Memory was checked right after and two weeks later. Kids were asked both what was done and who did it. Night sleep start times were logged for each child. Source mix ups may explain sleep effects, they test.
