Test results improve if we take regular breaks.
Taking a test after a twenty to thirty minute break produces scores that are equivalent to:
- Spending three additional weeks at school per year
- Having wealthier and better-educated parents
Taking the same test in the afternoon without a break produces scores that are equivalent to:
- Spending less time in school per year
- Having parents with lower incomes and less education
