In this neuropsychological research, the relationship between the characteristics of reading abilities in individuals with obesity (age range between 11 and 16 years) and the skills of motor coordination, postural stability, manual dexterity, including graphomotor skills, and estimation of time is investigated according to the cerebellar deficit theory.
