Chronotype Dynamics Unveiled: Motivation Matters for the Learning Performance in Morning and Evening Chronotypes Among Late Adolescents

We examined how the relationships between ToD, chronotype, and motivation influence learning performance under different learning strategies. The morning and evening chronotypes from a late adolescent population (n=79, M=20.86±1.25) exhibited a chronotype asynchrony effect in relation to their learning when less motivated, indicating motivation's vital impact in learning performance.
