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.

Taking into account the findings of the negative correlation of empathy and delinquent behavior in adolescence, as well as the results of studies that show that the nature of this relationship varies depending on the components of empathy, a survey was conducted with the aim to determine whether delinquent adolescents differ from their peers in empathy, or whether there are statistically significant differences in the level of cognitive and affective components of empathy between these groups. The sample consisted of 120 male adolescents, divided into two groups. The first group consisted of young offenders who, at the time of the research, were located in the Correctional Home for Juveniles in Krusevac serving the educational measure of committal to an educational-correctional institution, while the other was a control group consisting of students of secondary vocational schools in Belgrade who did not have a history of delinquent behavior in terms of frequency, duration, and seriousness. Basic Empathy Scale was used for the assessment (BES; Jolliffe & Farrington, 2006). The obtained results confirm the general assumption that delinquent adolescents are less empathetic than their peers in secondary schools. On the total empathy scale delinquents generated statistically significantly lower scores than their peers, wherein the differences were also retained by controlling the age of subjects. When we look at the components of empathy, the results indicate that delinquent adolescents have lower cognitive, but not affective empathy than their peers. On the basis of previously obtained results practical implications for intervention planning of treatment and prevention of delinquency were derived.

Language has a noteworthy role in the cognitive development and social ability of an individual. However, a delay in language could a ff ect an individual ability to think critically. Th is could be breached through impactful method of instruction from elementary school. Th us, this study examined the di ff erential e ff ectiveness of Montessori didactic and Direct Instructional methods on reasoning ability of children with hearing impairment in Lagos State. Th e sample size was 29 pupils comprising 15 male and 14 female pupils with hearing impairment. Th e Reasoning Ability Test was used to gather relevant data while mean, standard deviation, mean di ff erence, Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) and Least Signi fi cant Di ff erence (LSD) were the statistical tool used to analyse the data. Th e study found that both Montessori Didactic Material and Direct Instruction method were e ffi cacious in teaching pupils with hearing impairment. However, the former was more e ff ective. Th e teaching methods do not have signi fi cant gender e ff ect on pupils with hearing impairment. It was recommended that Montessori didactic method should be employed in teaching elementary school pupils because it encourages active participation in learning process in form of self- direction and independence not minding gender, intellectual and economic disparities.

The research was conducted with the aim to determine the most common barriers to the employment of persons with intellectual disabilities (ID), perceived by private employers and officials in state-owned enterprises. By applying HPEM - HR professionals' perception of employability of persons with intellectual disability (Berry & Kymar, 2012) an appropriate sample of 117 respondents of both genders, who were private employers (82/50.4%) and managers of state-owned enterprises (35/29.9%) was examined. Analysis of the obtained results showed that major barriers were the lack of work experience of persons with ID, the lack of stimulus for employers to hire persons with ID, and the need for workplace accommodation. The differences among respondents were not found in relation to gender, business activity, size and ownership of the company, but they were determined according to previously achieved contact with persons with ID and region of the country in which the respondents lived. The obtained findings imply the need for further research and additional interventions by experts in creating future plans and programs of employment for persons with ID in integrated working conditions.
