Human Circadian Patterns of Memory Processes: Chronopsychology of Rates of Forgetting, a Rhythmometric Study
On the basis of mathematical models and inferential statistical procedures, this study in human chronopsychology presents the results of standard biometric and rhythmometric analyses. Observations also demonstrate that psychological events of forgetting are circadian stage-dependent processes. Moreover, the periodicities detected suggest in psychophysiology some working hypotheses regarding the circadian rhythmicity of short-term memory functions.
