Abstract
Memory was tested for learnt word-pairs associated with different monetary rewards revealing that memory declined largely from pre- to post-sleep for low rewarded but not for high rewarded word-pairs. Positive relationships between memory for highly rewarded word-pairs at posttest as well as between general memory performance and spindle density emerged.
