Thursday's Child Remembers

If you're looking at your class schedule for next semester, and you have a required course in a subject that you always do badly in, check if it's offered on Thursday at 9 a.m.
That day and time, according to a French study, is when your memory is at its peak.
As reported in the journal Chronobiology International, memory researchers at the Universite Francois Rabelais in Tours, France, read 103 children a story, asked them to memorize a group of words, then tested them on the stories a week later.
The sessions were held on different days of the week, and at different times. The study found that those who had been at sessions held at 9:00 on Thursday morning always did better than any other group.
