- Title
What is consolidated during sleep-dependent motor skill learning?

- Abstract
Learning procedural skills involves improvement in speed and accuracy. Waker proposes two stages of memory consolidation: enhancement, which requires sleep, and stabilization, which does not require sleep. Speed improvement for a motor learning task but not accuracy occurs after sleep-dependent enhancement. We discuss this finding in the context of computational models and underlying sleep mechanisms.
