Abstract Attention and memory are key cognitive processes that significantly influence learning and academic performance among secondary school students. The present study investigates the levels of attention and memory among students of Classes VIII, IX, and X in the Amaravathi region of Andhra Pradesh. A total of 360 students were surveyed using the standardized Attention Test Battery and Memory Assessment Scale. Data were analyzed employing descriptive and inferential statistical techniques, including Mean, Standard Deviation, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation. The findings revealed that attention and memory levels varied significantly across class levels, with Class X students demonstrating the highest performance. Gender comparisons indicated minor but consistent differences, with girls slightly outperforming boys. Furthermore, a significant positive correlation between attention and memory scores was observed, highlighting the interdependent nature of these cognitive processes. The study underscores the importance of fostering attention and memory skills among secondary school students and provides practical implications for teachers, parents, and policymakers.
