Caffeine Cognitive Effects

Meaning

Caffeine cognitive effects describe the measurable, transient alterations in mental performance induced by the consumption of the methylxanthine compound, caffeine. These effects typically include improvements in reaction time, increased sustained attention, and a subjective reduction in perceived fatigue, thereby enhancing overall alertness. While these benefits are widely recognized, the magnitude of the effect is subject to individual variability based on genetic factors and habitual consumption patterns.
