• Posted Scientific Psychology to PSY 1001 section 06-07 Spring 2012

  I am also interested in the topic about sleep-assisted learning. I heard that when you listen to something repeatedly during sleep, that remains in your memory unconsciously. I tried that method and listening to classical music when I go to...
