Sleep & the Consolidation of Learning - XPS+

Description

Contrary to typical intuition, learning doesn’t happen in the moment. While in your session you may design environments and strategies to share information, it’s only during sleep later that night that the information is consolidated into long term memory. In this presentation, Dr. Bertram will outline the architecture of sleep, and the absolutely critical role it plays in learning.

Learning Objectives

1. Present the architecture of sleep and discuss the role of various stages of sleep to learning and memory
