The influence of sleep on memory accuracyThe purpose of this study is to do a memory-for-words that will explore the influence of sleep on memory accuracy memory. The study examines the influence of sleep on false memory. This study looks at two things: (1) How does sleep improve word recognition? And if so, this would support the claim that sleep facilitates coding in LTM. (2) How does sleep strengthen the false memory of a word? According to Elizabeth F. Loftus (1996) false memories are often created by combining real memories with suggestions received from others, they can include words we learn and associate them with semantic information. False memories are caused when we fail to remember correct information. When we store information we rarely retrieve it exactly the way it occurred, the inability to remember information correctly can lead to false memories. False memory sleep is measured by remembering words classified as previously studied, critical words which are the unstudied words, and critical words which are the ones which have not been studied before, but due to semantic association may appear during the trial of recall. Stadler, Roediger, and McDermott (1999). A DMR paradigm is the tendency to falsely remember a target word from a list of words concentrated around that word. It entices people to falsely remember objects that were never presented Roediger & McDermott (1995). In the DRM paradigm, word lists are constructed such that each given word is associated with a single unpresented word, calling it a critical lure. For example, in this experiment to test participants' words such as letters, school, study, reading, pen, pencil, paper and pages were presented, but their relationship... in the center of the paper... As for the objects in the evening and the next morning, 12 hours after the normal sleep period, their memory for the objects was tested. The non-sleeping group studied and practiced the elements in the morning, 12 hours after the day of activities, their memory was tested. From the results it was found that there was no significant difference between the two groups in remembering the words. Limitations in this study using a recognition technique instead of free recall, low sample size, did not take gender into account, as well as ethnicity. (language is important in this case, especially when it comes to words that are not so familiar that it is difficult to remember them). In future studies a larger sample size would be relevant for a better outcome of the result, performing the test in a native language would help participants remember better, observe the difference in gender, ethnicity.
