Diurnal variations in the mood and performance of highly practised young women living under strictly controlled conditions
The diurnal variation in a range of psychological functions and core body temperature were investigated in a series of studies involving a total of 24 highly practised young women who lived in a controlled environment and on a strictly regimented 24‐hour routine for 6 or 7 days. Ten participants were exposed to the natural light/dark cycle (L/Dc) through windows, whereas the 14 remaining participants saw no daylight, but all had access to normal …

The response of day and night nurses to their work schedules
Large numbers of people are now required to work at night despite growing concern over the detrimental effects which may result for the individual shiftworker. Day‐ and night‐shift nurses at a psychiatric hospital were compared, in order to highlight any differences between them on a range of measures. These comprised ( a ) their satisfaction with their shift schedule in relation to the amount and distribution of free time, the actual hours of wo…
The influence of emotion on immediate and delayed retention: Levinger & Clark reconsidered
The experiment reported here examines the effect of emotion on the recall of self‐generated paired associates under conditions of both immediate and delayed retention. The paradigm used was that of Levinger & Clark (1961). The results showed that, with immediate retention, the recall of associates to emotional stimuli was significantly lower than that made to neutral stimuli whilst with delayed retention associations to emotional stimuli were bet…
A note on ‘Time of day effects in school children's immediate and delayed recall of meaningful material’— the influence of the importance of the information tested
Circadian rhythms in human memory
Two experiments are described that examined the influence of time of day of presentation on immediate and delayed retention, and the potential effects of time of day on retrieval from long-term memory. Time of presentation was found to influence both the immediate and delayed (28 day) retention of information presented in naturalistic contexts. However, while the trend in immediate memory over the normal waking day found in Expt 1 was exactly tha…
Time of day effects in school children's immediate and delayed recall of meaningful material
Independent groups of school children were read a story at either 09.00 or 15.00. The results from those children receiving an immediate memory test were in line with previous studies, children who were read the story at 09.00 obtained higher immediate memory scores than those who were read the story at 15.00. However, when the memory test was delayed by one week, children who were read the story at 15.00 obtained higher memory scores than those …

Diurnal Variation in Logical Reasoning
Subjects performed two tests of logical reasoning at each of six different times of day. In terms of speed, performance on both tests was found to improve markedly from 08.00 to 14.00 and then to fall off fairly rapidly. Accuracy was found to decrease fairly linearly over the day. The results are interpreted as indicating that the different functions relating performance efficiency to time of day found by previous workers are due to differences i…
