Abstract: Background: The study is based on the Dual Pathway to Creativity Model and explores the relationship between inhibitory control and creativity in children with mild intellectual disabilities. Method: The sample consisted of 58 children with mild intellectual disabilities. Inhibitory control, fluency, and originality were assessed using the Day-Night Stroop Test and the Alternative Uses Test. Results: Overall, participants demonstrated moderate fluency (M = 6.55, SD = 3.10), while their originality scores were lower (M = 1.44, SD = 1.32). Correlation analysis indicated that faster responses on the second part of the Stroop test were negatively associated with fluency (r = -0.30, p < 0.05), whereas the association with originality did not reach statistical significance (r = -0.24, p > 0.05). Conclusions: Efficient inhibitory control linked to higher fluency supports the Dual Pathway to Creativity Model, emphasizing the balance between inhibition and cognitive flexibility in children with mild intellectual disabilities.
