dc.description.abstract	This study compared the language proficiency and executive functioning of three-year-old children with high (N = 72) and low (N = 427) familial risk of developmental dyslexia. The language tests measured phoneme identification, vocabulary, non-word repletion and grammar. For executive functioning, tasks examining visual attention, inhibition and visuo-spatial working memory were used. Results did not show any significant differences between the groups on any of the tasks. This study was evaluated in order to formulate suggestions for future research on family risk.
