This study provided a detailed analysis of lexical development in children with different level of executive functions in preschool age. The study was conducted by a sample of 279 children 5-6 years old, which were examined the level of executive functioning (executive-loaded working memory, switching, inhibition) and language ability to verbal fluency performance. We used the test “Associative series” to evaluate language ability to verbal fluency performance in free associations. The relationships between verbal fluency performance in free associations and executive functioning were discovered in lexical development of speech with auditory working memory and cognitive flexibility. Productivity in free associations was connected with spatial working memory and directed associations (naming of actions and animals) was connected with inhibition.
