It has been found that working memory, attention, and processing speed often influence each other (Baddeley, 2003; Burns, Nettelbeck, & McPherson, 2009; Vergauwe, Camos, & Barrouillet, 2014). The literature also suggests that working memory, attention, and processing speed differentially impact various areas of academic achievement (Kail, 2007; Miller, 2013). A study conducted by Fournier (2014) indicated a significant relationship between working memory and attention that was predictive of other cognitive processes. The current study focused on the collective impact of all three neurocognitive constructs on academic achievement to determine if similar results would be observed.en-USworking memoryattentionprocessing speedacademic achievementPoster
