Given the context: 'Sleep is known to reduce forgetting, but it is unclear whether and how sleep actively transforms memory for complex real-world experiences and how such transformations unfold over long timescales.' and the key idea: 'Sleep selectively and durably enhances memory for the sequence of events (sequential associations) from a one-time real-world experience, while not enhancing perceptual details (featural associations), constituting an exception to the law of forgetting.', recommend one method to validate this idea.

A large-scale online recognition memory experiment collected scores from over 3,000 participants listening to speakers saying the same sentence, and regression models using low-level (e.g., fundamental frequency) and high-level (e.g., dialect) voice properties were trained and tested with out-of-sample generalization.


Given the context: 'Adaptation has been extensively studied in motor control, but there is limited evidence that cognitive functions like working memory use similar error-driven adaptive mechanisms; the study investigates whether internal spatial representations undergo adaptation.' and the key idea: 'Errors in the allocation of visual attention can drive adaptive shifts in spatial cognition, suggesting that mechanisms previously ascribed to motor adaptation also calibrate spatial cognitive representations.', recommend one method to validate this idea. Output only the method without explanation.

Participants completed an interleaved task with frequent perceptual discrimination trials that used an exogenous peripheral cue followed by a displaced target to induce covert attentional allocation errors, and less frequent spatial working memory trials with delayed recall, with half presented at the cue location.
