The samples that have been determined in this study are 44 students high school using descriptive research designs. The instruments used in this study are Growth Chart, grid concentration exercise, digit span, and TPA (Academic Potential Test). The results of the analysis, the value of Tcount for data with Equal Variances Assumed is 2.409 with value of probability (p-value) is 0.02. Based on the data from the analysis, the value of Tcount (2.049) with a probability value (0.020) is smaller (<) than 0.05. Then H0 is rejected, so it can be concluded that there are significant differences in cognitive functions between normal student and obesity categories.
