09 SES 02 A, Investigating Conditions of and Influences on Test Performance
Paper Session
Contribution
The relationship between working memory capacity (WMC), educational aptitudes, and school achievement is well established. Also, there are individual results demonstrating a link between WMC and physical activity. Our goal was to investigate the relationship between these constructs using structural equation modelling on a large sample (N = 428) of students (14 and 18 year olds).
