Introduction: The advances in the scientific literature in the fields of psychomotricity, child development and psychomotor tests have evidenced a growing trend in academic production during the period 2020-2025.
Objective: This study focused on analyzing this production through a bibliometric analysis in the SCOPUS database.
Method: The search equations used key descriptors such as "psychomotricity," "child development," and "psychometric test," resulting in a total of 25,174 documents recorded. A notable increase in scientific production was observed during the years 2023 to 2025, concentrating 69% of the total publications in this period.
Results: 85% of the documents correspond to research articles, predominating the areas of education (58.55%), psychology (13.70%) and neuroscience (19.05%). England and the United States led as the main information products, while Latin America had a limited participation, mainly represented by Uruguay with 1,022 documents. The predominant language in the publications was English, which reinforces the need to encourage greater inclusion of research in Spanish.
Conclusions: the data obtained highlight the importance of continuing to promote research in these areas, as well as international collaboration to strengthen academic networks and increase scientific production in less represented regions.
