Declarative and Non-declarative Memory Consolidation in XXXX with @entity25 .

@entity1 @entity25 @entity387
Healthy sleep is essential in @entity1 's cognitive, behavioral, and emotional development. However, remarkably little is known about the influence of @entity25 on different memory processes in childhood. Such data could give us a deeper insight into the effect of sleep on the developing brain and memory functions and how the relationship between sleep and memory changes from childhood to adulthood. In the present study we examined the effect of @entity25 on declarative and non-declarative memory consolidation by testing @entity1 with @entity387 ( @entity387 ) which is characterized by disrupted sleep structure. We used a story recall task to measure declarative memory and Alternating Serial Reaction time (ASRT) task to assess non-declarative memory. This task enables us to measure two aspects of non-declarative memory, namely general motor skill learning and sequence-specific learning. There were two sessions: a learning phase and a testing phase, separated by a 12 h offline period with sleep. Our data showed that @entity1 with @entity387 exhibited a generally lower declarative memory performance both in the learning and testing phase; however, both the @entity387 and control groups exhibited retention of the previously recalled items after the offline period. Here we showed intact non-declarative consolidation in @entity387 group in both sequence-specific and general motor skill. These findings suggest that @entity25 in childhood have a differential effect on different memory processes (online vs. offline) and give us insight into how @entity25 affects developing brain.
