Sleep restriction impairs item memory discrimination but not general recognition in young adolescents
We present evidence that low levels of sleep loss for five nights (typical of a school week) are sufficient to alter memory encoding in youth. We interpret these data in the context of classroom-based learning and speculate that reduced lure discrimination may yield memory that is less capable of distinguishing closely related facts and concepts.
