Includes bibliographical references (leaves 117-127). Previous research has shown that in normal individuals sleep is critical to the formation of memories. Successful memory consolidation during sleep is contingent on the presence of slowwave sleep (SWS), REM sleep and the successful transition of stages across the night. In PTSD, both sleep and memory processes are disrupted, but no previous study has examined whether these two variables are inter-related. This study aimed at determining whether disrupted sleep was a mechanism underlying declarative memory deficits in PTSD, investigating whether memory consolidation during sleep is disrupted in PTSD diagnosed individuals in comparison with controls. 2015-01-13T04:05:16Z 2015-01-13T04:05:16Z 2009 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12145 eng application/pdf Department of Psychology Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
