How does cognitive function measured by the reaction time and critical flicker fusion frequency correlate with the academic performance of students?

Abstract: Background The reaction time (RT) is “the time taken for the appearance of rapid voluntary reaction by an individual following a stimulus, either auditory or visual” and the Critical Flickering Fusion Frequency (CFFF) is “the rate at which successively presented light stimuli appear to be steady and continuous”. RT and CFFF are commonly used for the assessment of cognitive functions that are known to influence academic performance. However, data about the exact correlation between these are sca… Show more

“…For example, cFFFs for extraverts were shown to be lower than introverts [62]. Additionally, cFFF differences in learning behaviour depended on the subject's level of sociability [63], while cFFF and academic performance had only a moderate correlation [64]. Interestingly, cFFF was found to be higher in adults who played computer or video games compared to those who did not.…”

“…Critical flicker fusion frequency (CFF or CFFF), as a frequency at which flickering light stops being visible and starts being perceived as a steady light, has been used in various fields of research and various groups or species. Research has focused on dementia [ 1 , 2 , 3 ], visual impairment [ 4 ], cognitive functioning [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ] and divers [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ], among other topics.…”

“…Reaction time and number of errors were increased in poor sleeper group than in the good sleeper group; however, there was no significant difference between the groups. Commonly, reaction time is widely used to assess the cognitive functions that are known to influence academic performance [38], also to evaluate neuromuscular-physiological responses in sport athletes [39]. However, human body responds to various stimuli at different speeds [40], additionally, the factors including intensity and duration of the stimuli, age and gender of the subjects, and effect of practice can influence the reaction time of an individual [41].…”
