What backs it

A 31-person study from University College Cork found that people who drank decaf coffee after a two-week caffeine withdrawal improved on memory tests involving words and locations, while the caffeinated group did not.

Worth noting

This was a small study of 31 people. More research is needed to confirm the findings in larger populations.
