Eating habits were assessed using a questionnaire covering student demographics and dietary behaviors. Attention and working memory were evaluated using the computer-based Rey complex figure (RCF) test, while academic achievement was determined based on students' overall grades.</span></span> <span style=font-size:10.0pt><span style=font-family:Cambria,serif></span></span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style=font-size:11pt><span style=text-justify:inter-ideograph><span style=line-height:normal><span style=text-autospace:none><span style=font-family:Calibri,sans-serif><b><span style=font-size:10.0pt><span style=font-family:Cambria,serif><span style=color:#4472c4>Findings:</span></span></span></b><span style=font-size:10.0pt><span style=font-family:Cambria,serif> The results revealed correlations between certain dietary habits and RCF test parameters. Specifically, we observed a correlation between breakfast consumption frequency and attentional performance (χ²=6.599; p=0.037), as well as working memory (χ²=6.053, p=0.048). Additionally, we found associations between weekly consumption of fish and attentional performance, as well as between the consumption of milk and its derivatives, Argan oil, and attentional performance. Furthermore, a correlation was observed between weekly fruit consumption and students' memory performance.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style=font-size:11pt><span style=text-justify:inter-ideograph><span style=line-height:normal><span style=font-family:Calibri,sans-serif><b><span style=font-size:10.0pt><span style=font-family:Cambria,serif><span style=color:#4472c4>Conclusion:</span></span></span></b> <span style=font-size:10.0pt><span style=font-family:Cambria,serif>Our findings underscore the significant impact of dietary habits on students' attention and working memory capacities.
