Abstract

In an attempt to evaluate the importance of paradoxical sleep in memory consolidation, rats were maintained on inverted flower pots for 3 days after learning in two T-maze experiments. Living on flower pots with large and small diameters did not affect retention of food-motivated position habits any differently than did home cage living. The possibility of an interactive effect between paradoxical sleep deprivation and the nature of the learning task was suggested as an explanation of the contradictory findings in the literature.
