Sinopsis

Discover how daily rhythms shape thinking and work, and what really influences performance across the day.


This study tracks how mental tasks—from memory to arithmetic—rise and fall with the clock. It presents a broad set of experiments, showing that no single time of day guarantees peak results, and that individual differences matter a lot. The book also highlights the challenges of drawing simple conclusions from varied tests and days, offering a careful look at how researchers measure efficiency in real life.



  • Learn how memory, attention, and problem solving vary across morning, noon, and evening.

  • See how different tasks respond to time of day and how practice affects results.

  • Understand why simple curves can mislead when studying cognitive performance.

  • Explore how researchers design multiple-day experiments to capture real-world variation.


Ideal for readers curious about the science of mental energy, work performance, and how timing can affect everyday thinking.

Reseña del editor

Excerpt from The Diurnal Course of Efficiency

This paper deals only with the question whether there are nor mally recurring variations of ability at different periods of the day. The discussion of this question is not to be found in general works on psychology, however modern, but in sundry monographs and journal articles appearing in the last fifteen years. This means that the more conservative psychologists are not yet ready to accept such recurrence as a fact. But the investigators themselves seem to consider it quite confirmed, despite the disagreements of their results when intercompared.
