Sleep and Learning

To test these hypotheses, Huber et al. (2004) measured the SWA of the subjects after they had learned to perform a rotation-oriented motor learning task that was designed to stimulate specific regions of the brain. As a comparison, the SWA of the same group of subjects was measured after they performed a no-rotation task that did not activate the regions of the brain, as a control condition. Huber et al. (2004) found that the performance of the rotation-oriented task led to an increase in the SWA in the specific regions of the brain. Moreover, the performance of the subjects in the treatment condition improved significantly when they were tested the next morning after they slept.

However, to ascertain whether the improved performance was attributed to sleep, rather than the passage of time, Huber et al. (2004) conducted
