摘要

The study investigated the impact of napping on prospective memory (PM) across types of cues. Despite established benefits of sleep on memory, napping did not significantly enhance future memory performance in young adults. The research considered factors such as sleep stages (NREM and REM) and conscious monitoring of cues. The study emphasised the importance of contextual cues, particularly the association of mixed cues, and suggested a selective beneficial impact of naps on prospective memory cued by mixed cues. Reaction time analysis indicated faster responses in PM trials after napping, supporting that sleep aids in the spontaneous retrieval of prospective memory over time.
