In het algemeen kunnen we concluderen dat kinderen met dyslexie meer tijd nodig hadden bij experimentele inhibitietaken dan kinderen zonder dyslexie. Het percentage fouten was echter ongeveer gelijk in beide groepen. We kunnen ons de vraag stellen of inhibitieproblemen bij experimentele taken ook tot uiting kunnen komen in tragere reactietijden. We verwachten immers dat kinderen met inhibitieproblemen meer fouten maken door te snel te reageren. Een andere mogelijke verklaring is dat de tragere reactietijden te wijten zijn aan een tragere verwerkingssnelheid bij kinderen met leerstoornissen. Dit kan eerder gelinkt worden aan een probleem in het werkgeheugen. Onderzoek naar het verband tussen dyslexie en werkgeheugen kan deze hypothese bevestigen. Wanneer inhibitie gemeten werd in het dagelijks leven, rapporteerden zowel ouders als leerkrachten meer problemen op vlak van inhibitie bij de kinderen met dyslexie. In dagdagelijkse situaties vertonen kinderen met dyslexie dus duidelijk meer inhibitieproblemen. Vervolgonderzoek is noodzakelijk om sluitende antwoorden te bieden op de onderzoeksvragen van deze studie.
