Herbal-caffeinated chewing gum, but not bubble gum, improves aspects of memory.

摘要

Research has shown that standard chewing gum can affect aspects of both attention and memory. The present study examined the effects of Think Gum(R), a caffeinated-herbal chewing gum, on both concentration and memory using a series of paper-based and online testing. Compared to standard chewing gum and a no-gum control, chewing caffeinated-herbal gum during testing improved aspects of memory, but did not affect concentration. The findings suggest that caffeinated-herbal chewing gum is an effective memory aid.
