Drinking coffee helps us process information better

Do you have to read a report, prepare a class work or analyze the news published today? Having a cup of coffee improves your ability to process information, according to a study by Holly Taylor and her colleagues at Tufts University (USA).

As confirmed by Taylor's experiments, in addition to being the most widely used psychostimulant in the world, caffeine has the property of improving the brain's ability to identify grammatical errors while speed-reading a page with information in our own language. Specifically, the experiments revealed that people who regularly consume caffeine need 400 milligrams to improve their results, while the few coffee growers only need 200 milligrams of this drink to notice the effect.

The research reinforces the idea that central nervous system stimulants improve the ability to process language , as the study authors conclude in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied .
