There has been much research on whether eating prior to a cognitive recall test can affect cognitive functioning. One example was a study of the effect of breakfast timing on selected cognitive functions of elementary school students. Their results found that children who ate breakfast at school scored notably higher on most of the cognitive tests than did students who ate breakfast at home and also children who did not eat breakfast at all.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Vaisman | first1 = N. | last2 = Voet | first2 = H. | last3 = Akivis | first3 = A. | last4 = Vakil | first4 = E. | year = 1996 | title = Effect of Breakfast Timing on the Cognitive Functions of Elementary School Students | journal = Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine | volume = 150 | issue = 10| pages = 1089–1092 | doi = 10.1001/archpedi.1996.02170350091016 | pmid = 8859144 }}</ref>

In a study of women experiencing Premenstrual Syndrome, they were either given a placebo beverage or a carbohydrate-rich one. The patients were tested at home; their moods, cognitive performance, and food craving were measured before the consumption of the beverage and 30, 90, and 180 minutes after consumption. The results showed that the carbohydrate-rich beverage significantly decreased self-reported depression, anger, confusion, and carbohydrate craving 90 to 180 minutes after consumption. Memory word recognition also improved significantly.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Sayegh | first1 = R. | last2 = Schiff | first2 = I. | last3 = Wurtman | first3 = J. | last4 = Spiers | first4 = P. | last5 = McDermott | first5 = J. | last6 = Wurtman | first6 = R. | year = 1995 | title = The Effect of a Carbohydrate-Rich Beverage on Mood, Appetite, and Cognitive Function in Women with Premenstrual Syndrome | journal = Obstetrics and Gynecology | volume = 86 | issue = 4| pages = 520–528 | doi=10.1016/0029-7844(95)00246-n| pmid = 7675373 }}</ref>
