"Sleep Boosts Memory in Two-Year-Olds, Study Finds"

New research suggests that 24-month-olds have a superior ability to recall things they observed on a screen compared to 15-month-olds, particularly if they slept within four hours after the learning session. The duration of sleep during this period directly correlated with how well they remembered the content. The study sheds light on the effects of sleep on memory consolidation in infants and emphasizes the importance of understanding the complex relationships between sleep, memory, and media to provide evidence-based guidance to parents and practitioners.
