Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Learning sessions for the acquisition and extinction of alimentary conditioned responses do not significantly alter the structure of the wakefulness-sleep cycle during the post-conditioning period, and the percentage ratio of the different phases is preserved, without an augmentation of one of them.

  2. 2.

    Under the influence of learning sessions the number of awakenings for the deprivation of paradoxical sleep does not change, making it possible to reject the idea that learning has any appreciable influence on the formation of PS requirement.

  3. 3.

    PS deprivation brought about by non-emotional awakening after learning sessions does not delay the acquisition or extinction of alimentary conditioned responses.

  4. 4.

    The conclusion is drawn that paradoxical sleep has no specific role to play in memory trace consolidation during the formation of long-term memory.
