Sleep favors source-relation correction

This hypothesis asks whether sleep helps people retain a correction tied to its original source after retelling a story, testing how cultural meaning survives retelling. Participants would retell content before correction (R-C), or receive correction first (C-R). During verified slow-wave sleep, a deep sleep stage linked to memory stabilization, a neutral cue would reactivate either the source-role memory, which links the source to who did what, or the competing retelling. Quiet rest, sham cues, and waking cues provide comparisons. The prediction is selective: cueing the source memory should favor R-C, while cueing the competing retelling should shrink or reverse that advantage. A general sleep benefit would leave the proposed mechanism unresolved.
