Sleep underpins the plasticity of language production (2014)
Journal Article
Gaskell, M. G., Warker, J., Lindsay, S., Frost, R., Guest, J., Snowdon, R., & Stackhouse, A. (2014). Sleep underpins the plasticity of language production. Psychological science : a journal of the American Psychological Society / APS, 25(7), 1457-1465. https://doi.org/10.1177/0956797614535937
