Attention and cognitive flexibility are linked as co-occurring cognitive domains in academic performance studies [1] and are both assessed simultaneously through standardized tools like the Stroop Test [2]. Furthermore, both functions are negatively impacted by poor sleep quality, as evidenced by their shared association with PSQI scores [3].

referenceThe Stroop Test assesses attention and cognitive flexibility by requiring participants to name the color of ink used to print words that denote different colors, a method described by Scarpina and Tagini in 2017.
claimPoor sleep quality, as measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), is significantly associated with lower cognitive performance across domains including verbal learning and memory (measured by the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test), attention and executive function (measured by the Stroop Test), non-verbal reasoning (measured by the Raven's Progressive Matrices), and cognitive flexibility (measured by the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test).
measurementStudents in London scored significantly higher on cognitive measures, including verbal learning, memory, attention, executive function, non-verbal reasoning, and cognitive flexibility, compared to students in Tokyo (p < 0.01).
