Description (Abstract)
The project that will be presented is a study on the effects of caffeine intake and time of day on memory. Psychology undergraduate students in two classes will be participating in a memory test of a short story, and a short questionnaire on age and gender as well as caffeine intake. The study will be a quasi-experiment, with one class being in the morning, and the other in the afternoon.
The study will be fully voluntary and anonymous, with only those 18 and older eligible to participate. I will analyze the effect of caffeine intake and time of day on memory. The IRB application is being submitted this week. Pending approval, data collection is anticipated in late March, with results anticipated by early April.
The Molloy IRB (Protocol 2299642-1) approved this as a Classroom Research Assignment.
