Influence of inhibitory control on planning abilities in children with mild intellectual disability
With regard to the fact that the tendency toward unsophisticated strategies is often related to difficulties with basic components of executive functions, the aim of this research was to determine the relation between planning abilities and inhibitory control in children with mild intellectual disab...

The sample included 56 children with idiopathic MID (IQ 50-69, M=61.13, SD=7.14), of both genders (26/46.3% of girls), between 9.11 and 14.03 years of age (M=11.61; SD=1.29).

With regard to the fact that the tendency toward unsophisticated strategies is often related to difficulties with basic components of executive functions, the aim of this research was to determine the relation between planning abilities and inhibitory control in children with mild intellectual disability (MID). The sample included 56 children with idiopathic MID (IQ 50-69, M=61.13, SD=7.14), of both genders (26/46.3% of girls), between 9.11 and 14.03 years of age (M=11.61; SD=1.29).
