Night sleep eliminates the interference in learning concurrent
items
Research conducted at the University of Chicago has proven that
when two new experiences are learned at the same time, sleep can play an
important role in the brain's ability to enhance the learning of the two.
According to the research service of the Iranian Student News
Agency (ISNA) in the Khorasan region, a new study that examined the ability of
"Sar" to recognize new songs showed that learning the second song can
affect the performance of the first song; But it also found that a good night's
sleep helps the brain retain both information.
Starlings are an excellent model for studying memory because there
are fundamental biological similarities between birds and mammals. These
observations also indicated that sleep enhances and enhances the retention of concurrent
experiences. Researchers tested the effect of sleep on starlings' memory
enhancement.
After learning the second songs, the birds were tested again to
determine if they had learned the first song, and the researchers found that
learning the second song interfered with the first song before they fell
asleep.
When the starlings were allowed to sleep, they showed increased
performance on both song types, and sleep was shown to enhance their memory and
eliminate the negative effects of interference. When they learned the song
after waking up, these birds were able to remember what they had learned the
previous day.
This research proved well that sleep improves performance and
strengthens learning against interference.
