    Cerebellar disorders are linked to neuropsychological deficits, particularly in executive attention and motor control.

  • 2

    The study involved 24 children with cerebellar pathologies and 24 typically developing children performing dual tasks.

  • 3

    Results indicated that dual-task conditions negatively impacted fine motor control in both groups, especially during anticipation tasks.

  • 4

    Cerebellar patients exhibited significant impairments in anticipatory control, affecting their motor performance.

  • 5

    The findings emphasize the cerebellum's role in synchronizing cerebral networks during dual-task processing.
