| dc.description.abstract | The study investigated the association between physical and cogni ti ve development during early and middle childhood . Multistage sampling technique was followed in the selection of participants . As part of mul ti stage sampling, using simple random sampling, 60 children between the ages of 4 to 6 years and 60 children between the ages of 7 to 9 years were selected from the two preschools and two primary schools respectively . Children's height, head circumference, and mid-upper-arm circumference were measured in cm and weight in kilogram. Then cognitive questionnaire was administered for each child. The resul t showed that there is positive and statistically significant relationship between physical and cognitive development . The resul t also s howed tha t the predicti ve validi ty of physical development on cogni tive development is significant for the preoperational group but not for concrete opera tional group. When across chronological age is considered , the predicti ve validi ty of physical development on cognitive development was found to be statistically significant for children of 4 and 5 years but not for children of 6 to 9 years. The finding al so showed the existence of statistically significant difference in the predicti ve validi ty of physical development on cognitive development across sexes particularly between male medium and female medium, and male high and female high groups, but not between male low and female low groups . | en_US |
