In another study involving 10,000 children (ages 8 to 11), fluctuations in attention span were observed during the school day, with higher levels of attention in the afternoon and lower levels in the morning. The study also found that student awareness and productivity increased after a two-day weekend but substantially decreased after summer break.

In the current era of educational reform, traditional lectures are under scrutiny for their perceived ineffectiveness, leading some institutions to limit them to 15 minutes. Despite widespread beliefs about attention decline, there's a shortage of primary investigations on this issue. Notably, variations in student attention seem more tied to differences between teachers than the lecture format itself, emphasizing the need for instructors to enhance teaching skills for a more engaging learning experience.
