Children were rated on activity level and social, emotional, intellectual, motor and language development. Children from homes high on stimulation scored higher on four of the six aspects studied: activity level, social, language and intellectual development. Significant differences between adequately and non-adequately nourished children were observed on height, weight and intelligence, all measures favouring the well-nourished group_ On most measures, the inadequately nourished group also showed greater variation than the adequately nourished group.
