Alternatively, if there is no additional improvement for the process of combining the information, then the capacity would be stable across training.
The greatest improvement in SSV across training occurred with fast training speeds compared with the slow and variable groups combined (P=.04).
Participants saw 150 learning trials, and across training saw each pair at least 9 times and at most 11 times, with most seen 10 times evenly distributed across training.
In fact, in this first experiment, this is the only convenient means by which we might separate low vs. high level of familiarity with certain pairs across training.
A comparison of training performance between the nap and no-nap groups revealed no significant difference, for speed or accuracy, at baseline, post-training, or in the amount of improvement across training (unpaired t-test; all p>0.48).
Results collected during the following two tests showed that while wild-type animals improved their performance across training (P<0.001 when comparing the 1st vs. the 3rd session), the TgIE96 group did not improve their performance (P = 0.23).
Similarly in the nap group, a significant average improvement of 6.42 seq/trial was achieved across training (baseline: 17.0 seq/trial, post-training: 23.4 seq/trial; paired t-test t(13) = 4.78, p<0.001).
To compare the time spent in each stage of sleep across training days, we averaged the total time spent in each stage for the two days preceding the training day and then expressed all values as a percentage of that baseline.
Both sham groups gradually improve their performance across training.
Figure 2B demonstrates doses of alcohol consumed by rats from the 10S10E group across training.
However, across training datasets that included the evaluated line, the regression coefficients were generally relatively consistent within models.
