Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sleep supports memory consolidation. Non‐rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep have been proposed to support, respectively, declarative memory consolidation and the integration of the memory affective dimension. Here, we used sodium oxybate (SXB) to modify the NREM/REM proportion during one sleep night and assessed ...

How Mental Concepts Shape Sleep: Introducing the Mental Concept Reactivation Hypothesis of Sleep
Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sleep problems affect a substantial proportion of individuals, and negative thoughts, rumination, and worry are considered key factors underlying persistence and severity.

Estimation of Models in a Rasch Family for Polytomous Items and Multiple Latent Variables [PDF]
The Rasch family of models considered in this paper includes models for polytomous items and multiple correlated latent traits, as well as for dichotomous items and a single latent variable. An R package is described that computes estimates of parameters

School Science and Mathematics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Multiplicative reasoning is a fundamental construct for children to engage meaningfully with multiplication and division. However, various reports suggest that elementary and middle school students in the United States lack the necessary multiplicative reasoning to engage in relevant topics.
