Eye Responsivity During Literacy Activities in Children With Reading Disabilities

Although reading is a language-based skill involving five areas of language (morphology, phonology, syntax, pragmatics, and semantics), this study offers a unique perspective and objective measurement while highlighting the role of eye movements in reading. The results of this study showed distinctive eye responses in school-age children with RDs. These findings underscore the value of eye tracking as a diagnostic and research tool, offering an objective window into the complex interplay among visual, linguistic, and cognitive processes that underlie reading.

Abstract

Although reading is a language-based skill involving five areas of language (morphology, phonology, syntax, pragmatics, and semantics), this study offers a unique perspective and objective measurement while highlighting the role of eye movements in reading. The results of this study showed distinctive eye responses in school-age children with RDs. These findings underscore the value of eye tracking as a diagnostic and research tool, offering an objective window into the complex interplay among visual, linguistic, and cognitive processes that underlie reading.
