Salivary cortisol/DHEA ratio response to acute academic stress and its association with performance in middle-to-late adolescents.
In middle-to-late adolescents, the salivary cortisol/DHEA ratio response to acute academic stress is positively associated with academic performance. The findings of this study provide evidence of the neuroendocrine response to a cognitive demanding stressor as an adaptive mechanism likely mediated by the effect of an acute cortisol surge in cognition enhancement.
