This scientific tradition continues nowadays, with numerous current studies demonstrating a close link between the comprehension of written texts and executive functions, specifically focusing on the decoding and recognition of words (Gough and Tunmer, 1986;Kamza, 2017;Nouwens et al, 2020;Ober et al, 2020).
