Psychological evaluation
Context: adoption process, in the psychological evaluation of a Colombian child aged 4 years, there is the following sentence:
.../...
Su desarrollo cognitivo se observa adecuado logrando procesos de clasificación, repite secuencias cortas, identifica tamos y realiza procesos de discriminación táctil.
.../...
Is "tamos" here "fluff/dust", a typo...? I don't really know whether the ability to identify dust (or lack of cleanliness) could be a relevant psychological parameter.
In a similar report on her sister aged 6 years, there is no statement remotely similar to this one.
The document is from Colombia, the translation is for the UK.
Grateful for assistance from colleagues with experience in this area.

Typo for "tamaños"?
Just an idea - "tamos" does seem very odd in this context. Could it be a typo for "tamaños"?

Teachers or psychologists might, for example, ask a child of that age: "Which is the big triangle and which is the small triangle?"

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.
Comment: "You made me search further and ask some people professionally involved with children, and this looks the strongest explanation. Thanks, Rosie!"

(where) we are
far-fetched, but, supposing parts of the sentence were missing:
(tamos=estamos)
could be "donde estamos" or "con quien estamos"
the only way it would make sense to me, and just an idea!
(tamos=estamos)
could be "donde estamos" or "con quien estamos"
the only way it would make sense to me, and just an idea!

I found it far-fetched, as I said! It was just a try for lack of a better idea... Merci

typo for "tramos" = segments
creo que va con el resto del texto
tal vez sean secuencias de elementos que se repiten, o sectores de un dibujo que se repiten en otro.
