Practice Listening: Multiple Choice, Single Answer ID: #37902 Short Sleep.
Instructions ›
Listen to the recording and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.

Transcript:

When I first started in the field, people thought that we slept basically to immobilize us, because we don’t function well at night and the thought was that we just need to immobilize ourselves so those creatures at night couldn’t find us and attack us and eat us. But, it’s becoming increasingly evident by multiple lines of research that many things happen during sleep. Sleep is necessary for multiple functions. For example, during sleep, the brain processes information learned during the day. So, if you learn something and then you stay awake all night you haven’t really learned it. Your brain needs it to actually encode it appropriately so that it becomes part of long term memory.

Which of the following is not a function that happens during sleep?

Option 3: "Brain runs all the encoding processes during sleep"

Explanation: This option is correct as the text highlights that the brain needs sleep to encode information appropriately, which is a crucial function of sleep. It directly supports the idea that encoding processes occur during sleep.

Option 1: "Our bodies are immobilized"

Explanation: The text mentions that people thought sleep was for immobilization, but it does not state that this is a function of sleep. Instead, it emphasizes that sleep serves multiple necessary functions, such as processing information.

Option 2: "Brain goes through the information obtained during the day"

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text explicitly states that during sleep, the brain processes information learned during the day, indicating that this is indeed a function of sleep.

Option 4: "Our brain performs functions to add information to our long term memory"

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text states that sleep is necessary for adding information to long-term memory, confirming that this is a function that occurs during sleep.
