Abstract
Introduction: Knowing the development sequentiality in the first years of children life establish appropriate intervention strategies. Objetive: The purpose of this paper is to determine the relationship between motor development and the evolutionary process of language and cognition in children between school ages 3 to 7 in the city of Barranquilla. Materials and methods: Descriptive study with the participation of 223 children between ages 3 to 7 years, enrolled in six official educational institutions of the city of Barranquilla. The Battelle inventory was applied to evaluate the development in terms of the motor, cognitive and language areas. Results: The vast majority of the evaluated children were found in appropriate development, although a significant group of the evaluated sample showed results below the expected standard for their age. The correlation of the variables: motor development, cognition and language proof a positive relationship with high significance, which shows a bilateral relationship between these variables. Conclusions: The results show that a child with age expected motor acquisitions will also shows cognitive and language development according to their age. Thus, the development of conceptual and language difficulties related to a low motor development will represent a disadvantage compared to their peers.
