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. While extensive research has examined how these states disrupt sleep before falling asleep, much less is known about how mental concepts, including thoughts, expectations ...

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT High‐frequency EEG activity during sleep, reflecting cortical hyperarousal, has recently been incorporated into aetiology models of nightmares. However, its precise role remains insufficiently understood because experimental approaches to manipulate hyperarousal during sleep are limited.

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

Closed‐Loop Targeted Memory Reactivation During Sleep Spindles Enhances Motor Memory Consolidation
Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sleep spindles are thought to facilitate motor memory consolidation by reactivating recently acquired memory traces during non‐rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, yet most human evidence is correlational. Using a closed‐loop targeted memory reactivation (CL‐TMR) protocol, this study tested whether auditory cueing time‐locked to spindles enhances ...

Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract This study explores the potential of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) as an alternative to human interlocutors for assessing interactional competence (IC) in a second language (L2). Thirty L2 English speakers completed a 6‐item roleplay task designed to elicit refusals of requests, invitations, and offers, interacting with both a ...
