This research was designed to describe the psychomotor development, environmental stimulation, and the socioeconomic condition of preschool children attending three educational institutions in the city of Temuco, Chile.
The sample included 81 boys and girls whose age ranged from three to four years. The Test de Desarrollo Psicomotor (The Psychomotor Development Test), or TEPSI, was used to assess psychomotor development; the Home Observation Measurement of the Environment (HOME) Scale was used to evaluate environmental stimulation; and the Socioeconomic Standardization Model was used to categorize children's socioeconomic status.
The highest statistical correlation was observed between psychomotor development and environmental stimulation when comparing all three parameters across the sample.
Environmental stimulation may be the most relevant parameter in the study of psychomotor development of children. Socioeconomic status alone does not seem to be strongly related to children's psychomotor development in the Temuco region of Chile.
本研究旨在描述就读于智利特木科市三所教育机构的学龄前儿童的心理运动发育、环境刺激和社会经济状况。
样本包括81名年龄在3至4岁之间的男孩和女孩。使用心理运动发育测试（Test de Desarrollo Psicomotor，简称TEPSI）来评估心理运动发育；使用家庭环境观察量表（Home Observation Measurement of the Environment，简称HOME）来评估环境刺激；并使用社会经济标准化模型对儿童的社会经济地位进行分类。
在对样本中的所有三个参数进行比较时，观察到心理运动发育与环境刺激之间存在最高的统计相关性。
环境刺激可能是儿童心理运动发育研究中最相关的参数。在智利特木科地区，仅社会经济地位似乎与儿童的心理运动发育没有强烈关联。
