Resumo

A associação entre fatores ambientais e desempenho cognitivo durante a infância pode ser mediada por pertencer à pobreza (ou seja, lares com necessidades básicas insatisfeitas ou satisfeitas -UBN / SBN). Este estudo explorou essa mediação em pré-escolares de diferentes contextos socioeconômicos. Para tanto, tarefas que exigiram atenção executiva, memória de trabalho, controle inibitório, planejamento e raciocínio fluido foram administradas a 250 crianças de 4 a 5 anos. Os resultados sugeriram que a pobreza mediu os efeitos da composição familiar, saúde infantil, fatores de risco para a saúde, número de crianças e adultos em casa, idade materna e atividades de alfabetização no cuidado executivo, raciocínio fluido e controle inibitório. Esses resultados contribuem para a compreensão da relação entre fatores ambientais e desenvolvimento cognitivo por meio da identificação da pobreza como variável mediadora
