It seemingly explains why sleep matters so much for learning, and also why deep neural nets have performed so well with dropout strategies. I&amp;#x27;d be willing to bet this falls in line with my theory...that changing locations and contexts facilitates with forgetting noisy information, letting the important things stand out more once they are retrained.</text></comment>
