This study of the influence of breakfast and no breakfast on cognitive function was
performed on adolescents aged 11–13. They were recruited to participate in this school-based,
randomized, controlled, parallel groups trial with two interventions - breakfast or no breakfast.
The breakfast consisted of Ready-To-Eat-Cereal (up to 70 g) with milk (up to 300 ml).
Assessment of cognitive function was performed 70- and 215-min post-intervention in a testing
location, similar to a school classroom setting. The study showed a positive effect of breakfast on
reaction time and visual-sustained attention. The results also demonstrated that breakfast gave a
greater advantage for performance when no breakfast performance was poorer.
This source is relevant and credible. The study supports my thesis.

ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY
Studies show that breakfast positively affects learning in children. The goal of this study
was to examine the relationship between breakfast consumption and academic performance. The
goal of this study was to examine the association between regular breakfast consumption
frequency and Cognitive Abilities Test (CAT) performance, a reasoning test routinely used in
UK schools. Adolescents aged 11–13 years completed a questionnaire to report the usual weekly
breakfast intake frequency. The participants subjectively defined breakfast as rare (0–2 days),
occasional (3–4 days), or frequent (5–7 days). Regular breakfast consumption frequency did not
significantly predict any CAT normative standard age scores.
This source is credible; however the study is indecisive, and does not support my thesis.

Breakfast Consumption Frequency and Academic Performance in British
Adolescents. Frontiers in Public Health, 7. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpubh.2019.00283
The present study goal is to examine associations between regular school breakfast
consumption frequency and academic performance, as measured by the General Certificate of
Secondary Education, UK (GCSE), equivalent to GED in the US. Adolescents aged 16–18
completed a 7-day food diary to report breakfast intake and a questionnaire to report GCSE
grades. Regular weekly school breakfast consumption frequency was categorized as rare (0–1
days), occasional (2–3 days), or frequent (4–5 days). GCSE grades were combined into point
scores, and linear regression models were applied. A cross-sectional study demonstrates that
habitual school breakfast consumption amongst adolescents is a significant correlate of GCSE
accomplishment.

Breakfast is promoted as a healthy habit and to improve cognitive function and academic
performance. A series of studies were performed on children and adolescents aged 4-18 on how
breakfast affects their cognitive performance at school. The article describes the studies that
compare performance with breakfast, with no breakfast and different breakfast types. The
evidence indicates that breakfast consumption is more beneficial than skipping breakfast, but this
effect is more obvious in children with compromised nutritional status. Studies of school
breakfast programs suggest that such interventions can have positive effects on academic
performance.
This source is relevant and credible. The study supports my thesis.
