Check out our new paper! We evaluate what we know (and don't know) about the link between memory consolidation during sleep and next-day learning 👇

I think the last single author publication I had was my thesis, but in any case, here's another. An integrated framework for the learning, recognition and interpretation of words. 100% Gaskell, for better or for worse: doi.org/10.1177/1747...
