ABSTRACT

Background: Verbal fluency is a task of executive functions and involves verbal semantic fluency and verbal phonemic fluency, consisting of the ability to create, produce, express, relate words and know their meaning.
Objective: To analyze performance in phonemic and semantic verbal fluency in patients diagnosed with learning disorder.
Material and Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study including patients with learning disorder. All were evaluated with the Child Neuropsychological Evaluation in the tasks of phonemic and semantic verbal fluency. Tests of measures of central tendency were carried out and graphs of ranges were constructed considering the scores obtained vs the stipulated scores as normal in the evaluation instrument.
Results: There were included 192 patients. Diversity in patient performance was found, according to the diagnosis of learning disorder and the patient’s age.
Conclusions: It would be important to promote stimulation for the development of phonemic and semantic verbal fluency, as well as to rethink the therapeutic intervention of executive functions in patients with learning disorder.
