________- based knowledge and has a limited storage capacity.

________ (deep nrem) provides superior memory retention savings.

________: short, powerful bursts of electrical activity.

________ restores the brains capacity for learning by making room for new memories.

short, powerful bursts of electrical activity

protecting newly acquired info from forgetting, aided by sleep

inserting small amounts of electrical voltage

Yes

part of brain that stores fact-based knowledge. has a limited storage capacity

By making room for new memories during stage 2 nrem sleep

positive relationship: The more sleep spindles obtained during a sleep, the greater the restoration of learning

the hippocampus

cortex

False

In the late morning hours, sandwiched between long periods of rem sleep

While you sleep, your brain actively avoids strengthening memories made to be forgotten.

Awareness of yourself and your environment

a daily cycle of activity observed in many living organisms

-Weakened immune system -Increased level of stress -Damage to brain cells responsible for learning / memory -Hypertension -Impaired concentration -Irritability -Suppression of cancer-fighting immune cells premature aging

hormone that regulates the sleep cycle

getting information into the memory system

retaining information in memory over time

getting information out of memory storage

the more time you spend rehearsing information, the more effective your memory will be
