Placebo Effect - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Utilizing the Caffeine Placebo to Provide Caffeine Benefits Without the Negativities
        
        Is there a way to take advantage of the alertness and improved performance experienced through consuming caffeine without its side effects (eg. dehydration, tremors, headaches, etc.)?
        
        Is there a way to replicate the caffeine placebo and its effects/results?
        
        Consider academic performance of teens, as they are greatly impacted by developmental effects caused by overconsumption of caffeine.

        Is there a way to recreate the strongest rendition of caffeine-induced placebo?
        
        Consider giving both groups the placebo, but the treatment is the informing of one group that it was a placebo while informing the other that it was a caffeine supplement.
      - Utilization of the Caffeine Placebo to Observe Effects on Preexisting Medical Issues
        
        The effect of caffeine on tinnitus (tinnitus is a ringing in the ear and is a common medical issue most commonly found in older adults): https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=asn&AN=152536444&site=ehost-live

        Does caffeine affect memory?
        
        Does consuming caffeine impair memory?
    - - How effective is caffeine with enhancing performance in teens?
        
        Consider physical performance. (?)
        
        Consider academic performance.
  - - - In order to perform statistical analysis without running tests for normality (and potentially rendering data useless), make sure subject group populations are ≥ 30.
        This means both treatment groups (caffeine-thinkers and placebo-thinkers) are ≥ 30 participants each.
    - - sleepiness/lack of sleep on performance - ARRIVE IN AFTERNOON
      - environmental factors - ALL PARTICIPANTS TO PARTICPATE IN MS. PIZZANO'S ROOM
      - food confounding with the placebo effect - FOOD SERVED AFTER STUDY IS DONE
      - time period wearing out participants - LIMIT EACH PROMPT TO 6 MINUTES EACH (2) (ask if need one more min)
- - - - Would withdrawals from the antidepressant placebo be easier to address than withdrawals from serotonin/dopamine supplments?
