caffeine affects typing.

Tweet

Caffeine has long been known to be a stimulant as it causes increases in heart rate and blood flow.because the caffeine will stimulate the typist and will cause finger speeds to increase, that typing speed will increase, however, because typing will be occurring at a higher rate of speed, it is expected that the typist will become more inaccurate as the amount of caffeine increases.these are some pars of the article that i have read and i am curious of this. i am a coffee addict. a day without coffee for me doesn't happen. this is the result i have read: Based on the results, it appears as though caffiene had an affect on typing speed, but not accuracy. This is based on the general increasing slope viewed on the first graph. The accuracy graph appears erratic. Since there seems to be no consistency as the number of sodas polished off increases, then no conclusion can be made about accuracy. Furthermore, the effect noticed with typing speed may be more a result of familiarity with the test as opposed to an effect of the caffiene. This is supported by the test done after 30 minutes and the next day where WPM speeds were substantially increased. In conclusion, it appears the hypothesis was shown wrong in this experiment and caffeine, at least that from a soda, has had no serious effects on typing speed or accuracy.
