“…Recent analyses have provided a clearer indication of the relation between responsiveness and sleep stage variation. Harsh, Stone, Leiker, and Badia (1989) computed the mean response latencies for successive 10-min periods of the night for each of the subjects tested in the Magee et al (1987) study and compared the rhythmic variation evident in these time series with the cycling of REM and non-REM (NREM) sleep. Spectral analysis of the response latency time series indicated a periodicity in the range of 100-133 min for several of the subjects.…”

“…Cross correlation analysis failed to provide evidence of a close relation between response rhythmicity and sleep stages. However, further analysis (see Harsh et al, 1989, for details) indicated that response latency is complexly related to time of night, sleep stage, and the order and duration of REMlNREM Cycles. Figure 4 illustrates these relations.…”

The transfer of learning from the wake to the sleep state has been the subject of several studies involving conditioned discrimination (e.g., Beh & Barratt, 1 965) and operant control procedures (e.g., Williams, Morlock, & Morlock, 1966). These studies show that stimulus control transfers from waking to sleep. The degree to which learned behavior can be controlled, however, has been found to be greatly reduced by sleep. One of the goals of this research was to investigate factors related to the level of control exerted by stimuli presented during sleep. An additional goal was to provide further information about the effects of stimulus control on sleep. Addressing these issues may increase our understanding of brain organization in sleep and may also lead to procedures for controlling sleep-related behavioral disorders.
