“…Learning styles characterize how a person faces study tasks. From the perspective of cognitive styles, ET has been associated with field independence (Sarmàny, 1984) and creative thinking (Giampietro & Cavallera, 2007).…”

The interest in the systematic study of the circadian typology (CT) is relatively recent and has developed rapidly in the two last decades. All the existing data suggest that this individual difference affects our biological and psychological functioning, not only in health, but also in disease. In the present study, we review the current literature concerning the psychometric properties and validity of CT measures as well as individual, environmental and genetic factors that influence the CT. We present a brief overview of the biological markers that are used to define differences between CT groups (sleep-wake cycle, body temperature, cortisol, and melatonin), and we assess the implications for CT and adjustment to shift work and jet-lag. We also review the differences between CT in terms of cognitive abilities, personality traits and the incidence of psychiatric disorders. When necessary, we have emphasized the methodological limitations that exist today and suggested some future avenues of work in order to overcome these. This is a new field of interest to professionals in many different areas (research, labor, academic, and clinical) and this review provides a state of the art discussion to allow professionals to integrate chronobiological aspects of human behavior into their daily practice.

“…Generally, people can be classified on a continuum between two types, the morning type, "larks," and the evening type, "owls". Larks are those people who wake up early in the morning and prefer to finish their work in the daytime, while owls are those who prefer to do their work late at night and wake up with difficulty in the early morning (Giampietro & Cavallera, 2007). The difference between extremely early larks and extremely late owls can be such that "extreme 'larks' wake up when extreme 'owls' fall asleep" (Roenneberg et al, 2003, p. 80).…”

“…The shift of the CRs occurs during the time when children become adolescents, when their CTs change from morning-preferred types to eveningpreferred ones (Hahn et al, 2012). Another shift of rhythmicity towards larks appears around 50 years of age (Giampietro & Cavallera, 2007). The majority of elderly people are larks and most young adults are owls (Schmidt et al, 2007).…”

Human behavior is not constant over the hours of the day, and there are considerable individual differences. Some people raise early and go to bed early and have their peek performance early in the day ("larks") while others tend to go to bed late and get up late and have their best performance later in the day ("owls"). In this contribution we report on three projects on the role of chronotype (CT) in language processing and learning. The first study (de Bot, 2013) reports on the impact of CT on language learning aptitude and word learning. The second project was reported in Fang (2015) and looks at CT and executive functions, in particular inhibition as measured by variants of the Stroop test. The third project aimed at assessing lexical access in L1 and L2 at preferred and non-preferred times of the day. The data suggest that there are effects of CT on language learning and processing. There is a small effect of CT on language aptitude and a stronger effect of CT on lexical access in the first and second language. The lack of significance for other tasks is mainly caused by the large interindividual and intraindividual variation.

“…Chronotype is typically assessed by self-report questionnaires which are either one-dimensional with the opposites eveningness and morningness or two-dimensional assessing morningness and eveningness on separate scales. Individual differences in circadian rhythms have been validated by physiological parameters (for an overview, see Adan et al, 2012) and are associated with different outcome variables, such as various aspects of personality (e.g., Cavallera, Gatto, & Boari, 2014;Randler, Baumann, & Horzum, 2014), creative thinking (Giampietro & Cavallera, 2007) as well as life habits and cognitive abilities (for an overview see Cavallera & Giudici, 2008). In particular, studies applying a one-dimensional conceptualization found that morningness is related to conscientiousness and agreeableness, whereas the other personality traits showed small but negative associations with morningness (for a meta-analysis, see Tsaousis, 2010).…”
