Exploring the Impact of Caffeine on Classroom Performance: A Comprehensive Lab Study

In this informative lab lesson from UCLA's SEE-LA program, we delve into the world of caffeine, the most widely consumed psychoactive substance. Our focus is on understanding how caffeine, a daily choice for 54% of American adults, influences attention, memory, and overall classroom performance. Participants will engage in baseline and post-drink tests after consuming various caffeinated beverages, measuring speed and accuracy in performance tasks. Join us to uncover the science behind caffeine and its significant role in education.
