“…These difficulties are manifested in problems with focusing on significant task dimensions, following several dimensions at the same time, neglecting irrelevant information, as well as relying on dimensions that were important for solving tasks in previous experience. This leads to limited possibilities to acquire new information (Buha & Gligorović, 2012;Gligorović & Buha, 2011). It is believed that information processing in persons with ID is less the result of a conscious, deliberate act than in typically developing persons, and that their behaviour in problem situations often seems automatic, unsystematic and disorganized (Gligorović & Buha, 2013).…”

Verbal fluency is an indicator of the executive functions and mental lexicon. The aim of this paper is to determine phonemic and semantic productivity in persons with moderate intellectual disability (ID).The sample consisted of 58 persons with moderate ID, aged 15-25. Phonemic fluency was assessed by the Controlled Oral Word Association Test, while the Category Naming Test (CNT) was used to assess semantic fluency.The performance in the semantic fluency task was significantly better than the results on the phonemic fluency task. IQ was a significant factor of both assessed aspects of verbal fluency, but participants' age had a greater individual influence on semantic productivity and higher predictive value than IQ.
