Abstract

The market for beverages providing a cognitive boost is growing. Marketers often highlight the benefits of such drinks in their advertisements. Can such communications influence consumers’ actual cognitive performance? Our results of cognitive task battery in a controlled experiment show that consumers’ cognitive performance was negatively impacted in the presence of an advertisement communicating the benefits of a cognitive drink.
