The power of children's sleep - Improved declarative memory consolidation in children compared with adults.

Post-learning slow wave sleep (SWS) is known to support declarative memory consolidation. As SWS is more abundant in young population, we suggested that sleep-dependent memory consolidation processes could occur at a faster pace in school-aged children. After learning new associations between non-objects and their functions, retrieval performance was tested in 30 children (7-12 years) and 34 adults (20-30 years) during an immediate (IR) and a delayed retrieval (DR) session separated by either a Sleep or a Wake condition.
