Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Slow-wave brain activity (also known as deep sleep) is associated with memory consolidation and learning. Therefore, studying for finals, which requires memory consolidation and learning, is likely to result in greater slow-wave activity during sleep. The other options do not necessarily require significant cognitive activity or memory consolidation, and therefore would not necessarily result in increased slow-wave activity during sleep.
