Summary
Let’s Sleep On It by Lea Winerman (2006) discussed that if you had more hours of sleep then you would have more brain activity which could lead to better learning and a more extensive memory. Robert Stickgold, PhD from Harvard “believed that sleep allows us to process, consolidate and retain new memories and skills”. Stickgold also investigated sleep effect’s on students who would learn a new tasks and would deprive them of a one night’s sleep to see how well they remembered the new skill the next day. The outcome of this experiment was that the student would need to recover 2 nights of sleep, instead of one (Winerman, 2006). Using this technique would make him see the students who didn’t have the new skill very memorized versus the …show more content…
Sleep is very important because it enhances changes that are already there and happening to our body. Other psychologists and neuroscientists like Robert Vertes, PhD who studies memory at Florida Atlantic University and Jerome Siegel, PhD disagrees with Stickgold’s research and theory because there are too many questions that his theory could not answer. (Winerman, 2006)
Therefore, they are very skeptical of Stickgold’s theory. Stickgold’s theory isn’t new at all, it’s actually been around since the 1960’s to the 1980’s, in that study it was coordinated by Avi Karni was actually really similar to Stickgold’s experiment, the only difference is that Karni let them sleep right up until they went in to REM sleep to see how they remembered a task that was assigned by Karni.

For example, UC Berkley (2010) recommends taking into account the URL address of the website, specifically the domain (Barker, & Kupersmith, 2010). Revisiting philosophy with fMRI (Azar, 2010) was found via the American Psychological Association website, which contains the domain “.org”. This domain is mainly associated with non-profit organizations, which usually focus on providing the public with reliable information about the organization’s cause. Another feature supporting the credibility of this website is the fact that the American Psychological Association (APA) is the publisher of this website (Barker, & Kupersmith, 2010). The APA has been around almost as long as the field of psychology itself. Any publication recommended via their website should be as accurate and up-to-date as possible, otherwise jeopardizing the APA’s
