It Boosts Memory Here's news that will cement a procrastinator's reliance on coffee: In addition to giving those prone to last-minute prep an extra boost of energy, say, the night before cramming for a big test or presentation, coffee also helps enhance memory. A study by John Hopkins researchers found that caffeine can have a positive effect on long-term memory, helping us strengthen recall a full 24 hours after consuming caffeine.
In the study, researchers gave participants a caffeine tablet or a placebo five minutes after having them study a series of images. The following day, the caffeine consumers were more likely to correctly distinguish whether shots in a new set of images were the same or simply similar to the images they had originally viewed.
Now if only coffee could help us forget the memory of all those painful all-nighters we've had to pull.
