This led the researchers to conclude that caffeine effects phonological priming rather than memory storage.

Female subjects showed decreased recall after slow presentation. [5]

[11] Additionally, state-dependent memory effects have been found in regard to other substances such as morphine, caffeine, and alcohol. [6] [12] [13] Substantial amounts of research have been conducted on the effects of ...
In 2008, stimulants, such as caffeine, were the most commonly used nootropic agent. [15] In 2016, the American Medical Association adopted a policy to discourage prescriptions of nootropics for healthy people, on the basis that the cognitive effects appear to be highly variable among individuals, are dose-dependent, and limited or modest at ...

Caffeine is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant of the methylxanthine class and is the most commonly consumed psychoactive substance globally. [9] [10] It is mainly used for its eugeroic (wakefulness promoting), ergogenic (physical performance-enhancing), or nootropic (cognitive-enhancing) properties.
According to the USDA National Nutrient Database, a 240-millilitre (8 US fl oz) cup of "coffee brewed from grounds" contains 95 mg caffeine, whereas an espresso (25 mL) contains 53 mg. [189] According to an article in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, coffee has the following caffeine content, depending on how it is prepared: [186]
The levels of methylene chloride found were very low in most of those seven samples, NCA said — while the FDA’s safe limit is 10 parts per million, one brand had 1.4 parts per million, another ...
