Insufficient chunk concatenation may underlie changes in sleep-dependent consolidation of motor sequence learning in older adults

Sleep enhances motor sequence learning (MSL) in young adults by concatenating subsequences (“chunks”) formed during skill acquisition. To examine whether this process is reduced in aging, we assessed performance changes on the MSL task following overnight sleep or daytime wake in healthy young and o...
