- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Academic achievement: grade point average for Dutch, English, and Mathematics<br>Cognitive performance: neuropsychological tests covering several executive functions (LDST, D2, Digit Span Forward and Backward, CST,<br>Stroop test)<br>Behavior: absenteeism, motivation (MSLQ), Mood (CES-D), Self-esteem (RSE)
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Two types of eye tracking parameters will be calculated, namely basic parameters and paragraph-related parameters. Basic parameters are number of blinks, number of fixations, total duration of fixations, average fixation duration, average dispersion of fixation positions, average saccadic amplitude, and average saccadic velocity. Moreover, we will calculate eye tracking measures per paragraph, namely time spent on each paragraph (number and duration of fixations), time elapsed until first looking at a paragraph, and amount of times going back to a paragraph (revisits). Sleep will be assessed in a subsample. Sleep quality and quantity as measured by activPAL and questionnaires (ASHS and ASWS) will be collected.
