Research has shown that developmental dyslexia is not limited to linguistic cognitive defi-cits,and deficits in domain-general cognitive skills are also an important cause of developmental dyslexi-a,especially executive function.Executive function is closely related to readers'decoding,grammatical,and other skills,and includes three main subcomponents:working memory,cognitive flexibility,and in-hibitory control.Working memory,cognitive flexibility,and inhibitory control are all closely related to reading,and that deficits or underdevelopment of these subcomponents prevent executive function from functioning properly,which in turn leads to individual difficulties in reading.However,there are some issues in the extant research that need to be further examined,such as the effect of subcomponents inter-actions on reading and the causal relationship between executive function subcomponents deficits and de-velopmental dyslexia.Future research also needs to emphasize the intervention training on executive func-tion in children with developmental dyslexia and combine various techniques such as cognitive neuro-science techniques to provide more useful references for the correction of developmental dyslexia.
