Abstract
Working memory capacity is a cognitive aspect that can affect student learning achievement. Working memory
capacity is a limited capacity system that stores and manipulates information temporarily and plays a very
important role in the student learning process. This study aims to analyze the association between breakfast
habits, nutritional status, and anemia on working memory capacity in teenage girls. The research design was
cross-sectional, conducted on students girls in Madrasah Tsanawiyah of Al Fatah, July 2024. The sample used
purposive sampling following the inclusion and exclusion criteria provisions. The sample consisted of 30
students. Data collection on characteristics and breakfast habits used a questionnaire that the respondents
themselves filled in. Nutritional status data was collected using anthropometric measurements and determined
based on BMI (Body Mass Index) for Age. Anemia data was obtained through hemoglobin level measurements.
Working memory data was collected using digit span test measurements. Data was analyzed using the Gamma
correlation test. The results showed that there was a association (p<0,05) between breakfast habits and anemia on
working memory capacity, while nutritional status had no association with working memory capacity (p>0,05). In
conclusion, breakfast habits and anemia have association with working memory capacity.
