An evaluation of a caffeinated taurine drink on mood, memory and information processing in healthy volunteers without caffeine abstinence.Warburton DM, Bersellini E, Sweeney E.
Department of Psychology, Earley Gate, Whiteknights Road, Reading RG6 6AL, UK.

RATIONALE: Caffeine is present in a wide variety of beverages, often together with a number of other ingredients, such as sugars, taurine, glucuronolactone and vitamins. However, the majority of psychopharmacological studies have used pure caffeine tablets or drinks with doses in excess of those normally consumed in daily life. In addition, all the participants are usually deprived of caffeine for 10 h or more before the study. Consequently, it has been argued that any improvement in performance is only due to a reversal of caffeine withdrawal. OBJECTIVE: The present two studies tested participants who had minimal deprivation from caffeine (an hour or less) with an 80-mg caffeinated (80 mg/250 ml), taurine-containing beverage (commercially available) verum, which also contained sugars, glucuronolactone and vitamins. The placebos in the two studies were a sugar-free and a sugar-containing drink, in order to examine the effects of the sugar. METHODS: In total, 42 participants were tested with a rapid visual information test, a verbal reasoning test, a verbal and non-verbal memory test and a set of mood measures. Prior to testing, they were allowed ad libitum caffeinated beverages until 1 h before testing (study 1) and unrestricted caffeine use before testing (study 2). RESULTS: In both studies, the caffeinated, taurine-containing beverage produced improved attention and verbal reasoning, in comparison with a sugar-free and the sugar-containing drinks. The improvement with the verum drink was manifested in terms of both the mean number correct and the reaction times. Another important finding was the reduction in the variability of attentional performance between participants. No effects on memory were found. There were no differences in performance between the glucose and sugar-free drinks. CONCLUSIONS: Moderate doses of caffeine and taurine can improve information processing in individuals who could not have been in caffeine withdrawal.

2. Caffeine effects on mood and memory.Herz RS.
Monell Chemical Senses Center, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA. [e-mail]

The purpose of the present research was to assess whether a psychoactive dose of caffeine would have differential affects on the mood dimensions of arousal versus feelings of pleasantness and whether these mood alterations would influence memory either by (1) the experience of arousal at learning and/or (2) altered and congruent mood states at learning and recall. To address these questions, the administration of 5 mg/kg caffeine or placebo at learning and retrieval sessions was manipulated and subjects' mood was evaluated by several different self-report measures. Sixteen words were incidentally studied during the learning session and memory was evaluated by the number of words correctly recalled at the retrieval session two days later. Results revealed that caffeine reliably increased arousal, but did not affect any emotion dimensions related to feelings of pleasure. Subjects who received caffeine at learning and retrieval were also in equivalent mood states at both sessions. Moreover, caffeine did not produce any effects on memory; thus, neither hypothesis concerning the influence of arousal on memory was supported. These data show that caffeine is a useful method for manipulating arousal in the laboratory without influencing feelings of pleasantness or learning and memory performance.

Answer 2

From personal experience I think it does. Drugs with a stimulating effect help you focus which aids memory, and the ability to retain new infomation. I'm addicted to coffee and without it I'm a waste product at work. I can't function half as well. For a person sensitive to caffeine I'd guess it would have a negative effect because they would be overstimulated.

Answer 3

In laboratory exams caffeine has been shown to strengthen the overall performance of hassle-free, user-friendly, recurring projects and impair the accomplishment of complicated, novel, unpracticed projects. a number of examine have stumbled on that persons who drink a minimum of two parts of caffeinated drinks an afternoon record better moods, a greater useful social disposition, greater self-self assurance and capacity. In a chain of examine on caffeine and its outcomes on memory, consequences confirmed that on a similar time as espresso helps human beings to experience much less drowsy and fatigued and enables them to accomplish greater effectivley on instruction manual or perfunctory projects including typing or calculating, it does not heavily regulate numerical reasoning, short term memory or verbal fluency. In different words, caffeine enables you to stay conscious, besides the shown fact that it won't unavoidably strengthen your psychological skills. study:
