Sleep

Learn, Sleep, Recall, Repeat

Talk for Memrise's *MemTalks* series on the benefits of sleep for language learning.

It'll be alright on the night

A book at bedtime provides opportunities for language learning. Our recent study suggests that learning new words before sleep might help us to remember them.

Sleep-associated consolidation in app-based language learning

We test whether sleep-associated memory benefits are observable in naturalistic language learning.

The Puzzle of Vocabulary Growth

Why do some children excel at vocabulary learning while others get left behind? We’ve been thinking about how new word learning builds upon vocabulary we already have.

Sleep‐dependent consolidation in children with comprehension and vocabulary weaknesses: it’ll be alright on the night?

We present new evidence that poor comprehenders’ encoding difficulties extend beyond word meanings and into the phonological domain; but that consolidation mechanisms remain intact.
