While reading about the results of a study on memory, imagine that you read this statement: "After observing hundreds of participants across their lives, researchers found that this type of memory is nearly limitless and lasts, at times, for a lifetime."

Researchers conducted a study in which they first taught 30 new vocabulary words to a group of participants. That evening, the researchers tracked the number of hours the participants slept and the number of new vocabulary words the participants remembered the next day, finding that there was a statistically significant and positive relationship between hours slept and words remembered. Which of the following provides the most accurate interpretation of these results?

• there is a low likelihood that sleep's effect on memory consolidation was due to chance or error

• there is a high likelihood that sleep's effect on semantic network formation was due to chance or error

• there is a low likelihood that sleep's effect on episodic memory was due to chance or error

• there is a high likelihood that sleep's effect on implicit memory was due to chance or error
