Recent studies have suggested that executive function (EF) abilities, in particular inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility, relate to reading development from preschool years. The present study examined the unique importance of EFs for the early Korean Hangul reading. We tested 125 Korean children (ages 4-6 years) on tasks of inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility, working memory, Korean word reading, phonological awareness, listening comprehension and vocabulary knowledge. With age, vocabulary knowledge, and working memory capacity statistically controlled, a prepotent response inhibition measured by Go/no-go task and interference suppression measured by Flanker task contributed unique variance to phonological awareness. Additionally, the prepotent response inhibition and cognitive flexibility significantly predicted listening comprehension. These results highlight the unique roles of inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility for the development of Korean Hangul reading in beginning readers of Korean.
