Read about a study that looked at the impact napping had on the development of baby’s memory and their ability to retain detailed information about individual experiences once awake.
It’s widely known that, even as we sleep, our brains continue to process the things we’ve recently experienced. Previously, experts believed sleep in early childhood contributed to the development of semantic memory, which contributes to general facts and knowledge. Now, a study has proved that in fact babies also build their episodic memory during naps, allowing them to retain detailed memories of their individual experiences once they wake up.
They found in their EEG analysis that the group who had napped responded differently to the memory test than the group who hadn’t, but not in all cases. The brain response, for example, wasn’t different for babies who were shown a ball they had never seen before and were told it was a car. Both groups showed an N400 component, which, according to the study, “ occurs when the brain processes inappropriate meanings.” This indicates that the children knew the ball was not a car.
