- Abstract
The present study investigated scientific production in Brazil focused on infant cognitive assessment between 2002 and 2012. We analyzed 67 articles from 25 journals. The results showed that the most fruitful years were 2007 and 2008. Studies emanating from the Southeast, developed by women, and co-authored research reports were the most common type of articles, as well as studies related to diagnostic intervention. It was found also that infant cognitive assessment was predominantly realized in the school context and that the Draw a Human Figure test - DHF; the Progressive Matrices from Raven and the WISC - III were the most frequently used instruments. The importance of cognitive assessment and the fact that the described review was not exhaustive, emphasize the need for further investigation, especially with regard to the quality of the instruments used.
