Procedural same memories


Had no effect on the smell of roses and memorization of the material in case it gave the subjects after the training, but also to sleep - during waking hours.

Finally, it was found that did not make sense to give the smell of roses continuously through the night in a row (although he then found himself from time to time and to the right, slow phase of sleep). The fact that a person becomes accustomed to the constant smell and no longer notice it.

But to get to the desired phase of sleep researchers have been easy, since the experimental sleep in the laboratory and, accordingly, it was attached monitor brain activity.

Interestingly, this effect works only with the roses so-called declarative memories, how to include pictures and maybe the word. That is, memories of their own motor actions are not subject to this influence, say the authors of the work.



The question arises - is it possible for the night recalling the lesson to use other stimuli - sound, shall we say? Can not exclude it. That's only the "flavors are particularly suited for such an experience, as they are, firstly, it is extremely effective evoke memories, and, secondly, do not have hardly any disturbing effect on sleep itself," - written by German researchers.

But, you, who dare to expose for the sake of the session under the current head? Albeit weak. So, students prepare armfuls of roses. Just do not forget about the phase of sleep, when his dream, and the need to "paint" in pink.
