Differential associations of neurobehavioral traits and cognitive ability to academic achievement in higher education

Abstract: Background: People vary between each other on several neurobehavioral traits, which may have implications for understanding academic achievement. Methods: University-level Psychology or Engineering students were assessed for neurobehavioral traits, intelligence, and current psychological distress. Scores were compared with their grade point average (GPA) data. Results: Factors associated with higher GPA differed markedly between groups. For Engineers, intelligence, but not neurobehavioral traits or psychologic… Show more

“…This may be one way in which mixed-handedness could convey a small advantage in higher education. We have previously shown in the same sample as reported here, that the modulation of memory processes is a significant predictor of academic grades [18]. In addition, a study of foreign language acquisition, that mimicked natural language learning, found that the amount of learning was proportional to degree of mixed-handedness of the participants [99].…”

First basic demographic information was recorded and then all participants completed several cognitive tests (reported previously) [18], and also the MMT as a measure of intelligence. The questionnaires were supplied as a booklet and completed by hand during the test session.…”

“…In the second meta-analysis, we compared non-right-handedness rates (i.e., lefthandedness and mixed-handedness combined) between individuals with ADHD and controls. Overall, k = 16 studies were included (Dramsdahl et al 2012;Groen et al 2009;Hotham et al 2018;Neely et al 2016;Neely et al 2017;Martel et al 2008;Pluck et al, 2020;Robaey et al 1992;Rolfe et al 2006;Shaw and Brown 1990;Scharoun et al 2013;Soliva et al 2010;ter Huurne et al 2013;Tucha et al 2008;Tucha et al 2006;Xia et al 2012) and d = 6 databases (ADHD-200, Würzburg, Niche, ACPU, NICAP, IMpACT2).…”
