Abstract
Abstract: The present study aims to assess the cognitive performance before and after breakfast in healthy young adults (males).This effect may help in understanding the importance of breakfast on academic performance alertness, concentration etc. .30 healthy young males with normal BMI within the age of 20-35 years served as subjects for this study. The Arrow Flanker test (congruent and incongruent stimuli) is administered to assess the cognitive performance before and after the breakfast along with the estimation of blood sugar levels pre and post breakfast. Paired t test was performed to find the statistical significance for the reaction time in response to the stimuli pre and post breakfast. Paired t test applied for reaction time for congruent stimuli was found to be statistically significant (p=0.04). Paired t test applied for reaction time for incongruent stimuli was not found to be statistically significant (p=0.253).Paired t test for the average reaction time of both the stimuli was found to be statistically significant (p=0.010). Keywords:Breakfast, congruent stimuli, incongruent stimuli, reaction time, Arrow flanker test.
