Title: Are morning experiences easier to remember?
Post by: thedoc on 28/07/2013 14:30:02
Alan Yates  asked the Naked Scientists:
   
I wanted to know if there are better times of the day for learning and processing information ? I have a long commute by car and I have found that when I listen to the Naked Scientists podcast (http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/podcasts/) in the morning, I will retain and remember facts and figures much better than if I listened on my afternoon trip home.

Is this just because I may be more alert in the morning or is there a physiological reason behind this ?

Thanks,

Alan from Sydney
