Teenagers who ate ready-to-eat breakfast cereals in the morning were
"
" more astute, full and satisfied
, according to a new study by researchers at
the University of Northumbria
and the University of Essex
.study,
"
The Effects of Cereal Breakfast Intake on Adolescents' Cognitive Ability and Mood
"
, was published in the November issue of
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience
. In addition to improving mood, the study found some positive correlations with cognitive performance.part of the study, funded by
Kellogg
, looked at
40,
young people aged
13,
to
15,
at a high school in central England. Participants
35
whole grains and
125mL
skimmed milk or no breakfast. Participants were tested before
120
minutes after eating breakfast.cognitive load is examined by developing a range of tasks with varying degrees of difficulty in memory, attention, and execution. Emotions were measured using the
Bond-Lader
scale, as well as the feelings of thirst, hunger, and satiety measured at the beginning of each test session and after each test combination.overall,
participants who ate breakfast felt more astute, full and satisfied, "
the
researchers said.
"
there is evidence of improved cognitive ability to eat breakfast than not (e.g., hard word memory,
Serial 3's and Serial 7's
). However, while participants performed significantly worse in each part of cognitive task difficulty than in the correspondingly easier part, limited evidence supported the hypothesis that breakfast had a greater
" effect in the more demanding parts of the
task.researchers said they looked specifically at adolescents because of the age group's rapid growth, the complexity of academic work, the tendency to eat breakfast, and the ratio of brain size to weight.
