Circadian Arousal

Circadian rhythms influence performance on a broad range of cognitive tasks, including attention shifting, implicit learning, memory retrieval, suppression of distracting information, creativity, and problem solving. Much of the research on circadian arousal and cognition has examined the consequence of testing individuals at times that are synchronous or asynchronous with their personal circadian peaks. To date, the studies examining these synchrony effects in cognitive function have focused primarily on the performance of individuals who show strong morningness or strong eveningness tendencies; little is known about individuals with neutral chronotypes and whether their performance varies over the day. The lack of data on neutral types is a serious gap in our knowledge, as up to 60% of young adults and 25% of older adults do not show strong morning or evening preferences. The present study assessed the performance of neutral-type younger and older adults at three times of day (early morning, midday, and evening) on a battery of cognitive tasks, including inhibitory processing, executive function, memory, perceptual speed, and access to well-learned knowledge. Older neutral-types showed synchrony effects for inhibitory processing, executive function, long-term memory, and forgetting, and generally had best performance on these tasks at midday. Consistent with other findings, older neutral-types showed no synchrony effects for measures of general knowledge and perceptual speed. Younger neutral-types, by contrast, showed no effects of time of testing on performance over the day for any measure, suggesting greater cognitive flexibility over the day relative to younger evening-types, older morning-types, or older neutral-types.
