Preschool Attention, Social Functioning, and Learning Outcomes for 139 Children

A dataset of 139 preschool children aged 4–5 years, created by Elena Commodari and last updated in June 2026. It contains assessments of multiple attention aspects, learning abilities, and social functioning profiles. The data was used to examine relationships between attention, social context, and learning outcomes in early childhood.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between visual focused attention and global learning outcomes based on the described assessment.
• Analyzing how divided attention's contribution to learning is moderated by social functioning profiles.
• Investigating associations between short-term attention span and prerequisites for literacy and mathematics.
• Testing hierarchical regression models for independent associations between attentional aspects and learning.

Strengths

• Dataset includes 139 preschool children, providing a specific sample size.
• Multiple aspects of attention were assessed using a computerized battery, as described.
• Learning abilities were evaluated through an observational questionnaire measuring general and domain-specific skills.
• Social functioning profiles were assessed using an observational Q-sort procedure.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is small at 673.3 KB, indicating limited scope.
