Tecnologias no desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor em escolares de quatro a seis anos

Abstract

Objective: To verify the influence of technology in the neuro psychomotor development of children from four to six years of age in a private school. Method: a questionnaire was applied to parents regarding the time of exposure and ways of using technologies and daily activities and was applied Denver II Test, comparing the performance of the most with those least exposed to the technology. Results: technology does not influenced the neuropsychomotor development, possibly because besides the use of technologies, they report diverse stimuli, including jokes. An age influence was observed in the existence of delays, and the lower the age the greater the neuro psychomotor delay. Conclusion: For this sample the technology had no influence, but more studies are suggested with a larger number of participants and other ages.
