Barros AJD et al. – Child development was strongly associated with socio–economic position, maternal schooling and stimulation. Having been told a story and owning a book were the least frequent markers among children with score 1. These children were 8.3 times more likely to present low performance than those who scored 5. The effect of stimulation was much stronger among children from mothers with a low level of schooling – one additional point added 1.7 on the child's development for children of low–schooling mothers, whereas only 0.6 was added for children of high–schooling mothers. These stimulation markers cannot be directly translated into intervention strategies, but strongly suggest that suitably designed cognitive stimulation can have an important effect on children, especially those from mothers with low schooling.
