Abstract: (2439 Views)

Results: Academic achievement was treated as a dependent variable. Depression and test-anxiety were considered as independent variables, this is because the researcher wanted to investigate whether variables, such as depression, test-anxiety, and memory have the potential to affect students’ academic achievement. The paper highlights the relationships between depression, test-anxiety, memory, and academic achievement. It has been postulated that depression and test-anxiety despair short–term memory, and short-term memory cannot transfer information to long term-memory. Thus, these processes are linked to low academic achievement. In other words, when depression and test-anxiety prevent the transfer of information from short-term memory to long-term memory, then students cannot memorize their lesson or recall it.

Keywords: Information Processing Theory, Interference Model of Test Anxiety, Beck’s Cognitive Theory of Depression and Academic Achievement
