In psychology, Maslow's hierarchy of needs explains in part why anxious and depressed students are much more likely to fail.

"One of the challenging tasks facing teachers in today's learning environments is increasing students engagement. I said challenging because our students' attention span is very short and unless you make your learning tasks appealing to them you will never succeed in keeping them on task.
