Linn0850 Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 Hi! I am a first year IB student writing my extended essay. I had some trouble deciding what topic I wanted to write about, however I think I might have one now. It is about the role of sleep on the consolidation of memories. I'm worried that it might be too broad, I might change it to the role of dreaming on memories, but I was researching and pretty much everywhere I looked it said that there isn't any strong enough explanation for why we dream. Now I'm just confused and I'm not sure what to do. I made a few research questions to try and see if I could lead me too something, but now i'm stuck and the deadline for the RQ is soon. To what extent does prolonged exposure to cortisol affect our ability to consolidate memories? To what extent does sleep aid in the consolidation of memories? Are they too broad? Any advice on which one I should choose or try and improve? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
