Sleep and memory: reproduction of syntactic structures previously evoked within REM sleep-related reports.
7 subjects, aged 19 to 25 yr., who evoked syntactic verbal material in the report made after awakening during REM sleep, were asked to reproduce it a few minutes later. No big differences had been obsered between the two recalls; all recalled verbal materials, many sentences and kernel-sentences reappeared. These results indicate a good consolidation of the material obtained after awakening during REM sleep.
