According to crick’s adaptive model of dreaming, what is the purpose of dreaming?
a.
dreams people strengthen useful neural connections and weaken nonuseful ones.
b.
dreams people distinguish between waking life and the state of dreaming.
c.
dreams people remember symbols from past lives and alternate realities.
d.
dreams people rehearse the daily activities they plan to accomplish the next day.

The correct answer is: A. Dreams help people strengthen useful neural connections and weaken non-useful ones.

According to Crick’s adaptive model of dreaming, sleep helps facilitate the process of 'reverse learning'. This means that when we dream during nocturnal sleep, our brain scans all the information we have learned or observed during the day, and then proceeds to get rid of or "reverse learn" information that is no longer important. Additionally, while reverse learning some information, the brain also strengthens and consolidates useful neural connections, and aids in memory formation.
