FLORES LAZARO, Julio César et al. Development of verb's fluency and verb-utilization, importance for neuropsychology. Salud Ment [online]. 2015, vol.38, n.1, pp.59-65. ISSN 0185-3325.

Syntactic competence development initiates during preschool age, an important component on this phenomena is active verb utilization, and morphology-semantic-verb acquisition. Recent approximations have outlined the importance of cognitive dependency-interaction during child development, for example the importance of executive control for verb selection (mapping) and efficient verb-utilization; as well as the importance of verb-semantics for cognitive processing; however at the national and the international context, developmental studies on verb-fluency and verb-morphology during verb-fluency paradigms are to date insufficient. In this article a basic review is presented on the characteristics of verb active utilization and verb-fluency in preschoolers and older children, outlining the utility for the field of developmental neuropsychology.

Keywords : Verbal fluency; development; executive function.
