Resumen

SALLES, Jerusa Fumagalli de  y  PAULA, Fraulein Vidigal de. Text reading comprehension and its relationship with executive functions. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2016, n.62, pp.53-67. ISSN 1984-0411.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0104-4060.48332.

Reading is a complex task that involves diverse processes such as the identification of letters, recognition of words, access to meanings, and syntactic and semantic integration. Even though the identification/recognition of words is necessary to understand a text, it is not sufficient. This paper focuses on the relationship between textual understanding and executive functions. Some of the main models and instruments used to assess textual reading understanding are briefly approached. Afterwards, the concept, components and main instruments to assess executive functions are presented. Finally, a reflective synthesis of recent studies investigating the relationship between executive functions and textual understanding is presented. These relationships have been reported in Brazilian and international studies as well as the positive effects of programs promoting the development of executive functions beginning in child education, which also later can contribute to support reading comprehension.

Palabras clave : reading comprehension; reading; executive functions; working memory; language.
