Departmental Colloquium: Penny Lewis (Cardiff University): Sleep, consolidation, and semantic memory
Date:
Wednesday, March 8, 2017 - 5:00pm to 6:30pm
Sleep is important for the construction of semantic knowledge frameworks through consolidation of episodic memories, extraction of statistical regularities, and integration of incoming information with pre-existing schemas. This talk will discuss evidence supporting these ideas, as well as the processes during sleep are thought to lead to such abstraction.
