Resumen de Our brains can't generalise when tired
It pays to have false memories. People's brains use them to generalize new information--but lack of sleep gets in the way. False memory was discovered in an experiment that asked volunteers to memorize lists of related words and then recall them. When they learned "bed," "drowsy" and "dream" about half later also remembered the word "sleep". That's because well-rested brains normally use "associative memory" to link related concepts together
