Product Description:

A study of 83 primary school students found that Cardiac Vagal Tone (CVT) acts as a biological moderator between classroom climate and socio-emotional status, rather than a direct predictor of outcomes. While a supportive environment helps all children, students with higher CVT show stronger socio-emotional skills, indicating that pedagogical approaches should combine positive classroom environments with self-regulation training to enhance physiological resilience.
