Sociodemographic correlates of cognitive performance in healthy children and adolescents
Cognitive performance patterns varied by sex and maternal education, highlighting the importance of distinguishing typical developmental variation from cognitive delay to guide individual support. Lower maternal education emerged as a potential risk factor for poorer cognitive performance, relevant for targeted interventions. We recommend further investigating Tetris as a game-based cognitive test.
