2. TAKE HOME POINTS
1. Past research, including my data suggests that caffeinated
coffee impairs motor skills
2. Do the benefits of caffeinated coffee outweigh its negative
effects?
3. Negative effects were not permanent!

3. ANALYSIS
Additional Studies
- different types of caffeinated
beverages
- how does caffeine effect memory
or other cognitive skills (i.e.
problem solving)?
Limitations/assumption
s
- time of day
(evening/morning)
- improvement through
practice

4. NEW QUESTIONS
How does caffeine effect the brain (i.e.
cerebellum, frontal lobe) on a biochemical
level?
Does building up tolerance to caffeine by
creating more receptors on neurons,
correlate with how the cerebellum and
frontal lobe are affected by caffeine?
