The sentences
Faster reaction times (indicating quicker information processing and perhaps better attentional control) were modestly associated with higher GPA, but this effect only approached significance.
For the 2-Back task (p = 0.06), there was a trend towards significance for average reaction time (RT) with student grade point average.
Meanwhile, performance on cognitive tasks – particularly reaction time (RT) on the Go/No-Go task – also showed a trend in the expected direction.
Specifically, there was a trend for higher use of distancing coping to be linked to lower academic achievement (p approaching significance).
