Sleep Promotes Phonological Learning in Children Across Language and Autism Spectra.

Phonological generalization was associated with brain activity during rapid eye movement sleep. This study furthers our understanding of individual differences in the acquisition of new phonological mappings and the role of sleep in this process over childhood.
