New research has offered more evidence for some long-held notions that sleep and dreams boost learning.
According to researchers of the study, people who take a nap and dream about a task they've just learned perform it better upon waking than either those who don't sleep at all or those who sleep but don't report any associated dreams.
The learners in the study were asked to sit in front of a computer screen and learn the layout of a three-dimensional maze so that they could find their way to a landmark (a tree) when they were plopped down at a random location within the virtual space five hours later.
Those who were allowed to take a nap and also remembered dreaming of the task found the tree in less time.
