Neuropsychomotor Development Assessment for 85 Children Aged 0 to 5

Assessment data for 85 children aged 0 to 5 from early childhood education centers, investigating neuropsychomotor, nutritional, and cognitive/emotional development. The dataset was created by Luize Bueno de Araújo and includes results from the DENVER II scale, anthropometric measurements, and drawing tests. Findings indicate 30.58% of children had questionable neuropsychomotor development, with language skills being the most affected area.

Use Cases

• Identify risk factors for developmental delays based on DENVER II scale scores.
• Analyze correlations between nutritional status (obesity/malnutrition risk) and neuropsychomotor outcomes.
• Investigate links between cognitive/emotional difficulties (adaptation, socialization, self-esteem) and other developmental domains.
• Study the impact of classroom environment on child development, as suggested by the 'class' variable.

Strengths

• Includes results for 85 children, providing a concrete sample size.
• Assesses multiple domains: neuropsychomotor (69.41% normal), nutritional (27.06% at risk), and cognitive/emotional (34.37% with difficulties).
• Uses standardized assessment tools: DENVER II scale, anthropometric measurements, and Free Hand/Human Figure Drawing Tests.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
• Data may reflect geographic and institutional bias inherent to the two studied education centers.
