The strategic reading brain development: An eye-tracking study of the text reading in typically-developing and dyslexic children

Abstract

In a vast number of dyslexia studies, a decoding incapability related to the phonological weakness has been discussed as the core deficit in dyslexia. At the same time, we still lack a knowledge about a development of the text processing strategies in dyslexics. Both typically-developing (TD) and dyslexic children (DY) must develop some strategies for text processing. Some of DYs struggle both in a word decoding and in a processing of a sentence and a whole text. Thus, the aim of the current study was to evaluate the written text processing strategies in the DYs and the TD peers by means of the eye-tracking method.
