I Can Read It in Your Eyes: What Eye Movements Tell Us about Visuo-Attentional Processes in Developmental Dyslexia
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Bellocchi, Stephanie; Muneaux, Mathilde; Bastien-Toniazzo, Mireille; Ducrot, Stephanie – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2013
Most studies today agree about the link between visual-attention and oculomotor control during reading: attention seems to affect saccadic programming, that is, the position where the eyes land in a word. Moreover, recent studies show that visuo-attentional processes are strictly linked to normal and impaired reading. In particular, a large body…

Deficits in the Covert Orienting of Attention in Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder: Does Severity of DCD Count?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Chen, Wei-Ying; Wilson, Peter H.; Wu, Sheng K. – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2012
Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) show deficits in the covert orienting of visuospatial attention, suggesting an underlying issue in attentional disengagement and/or inhibitory control. However, an important theoretical issue that remains unclear is whether the pattern of deficits varies with DCD severity. Fifty-one children…

Cavezian, Celine; Vilayphonh, Marc; de Agostini, Maria; Vasseur, Vivien; Watier, Laurence; Kazandjian, Seta; Laloum, Laurent; Chokron, Sylvie – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2010
In young children, visual attention, analysis or memory is only rarely evaluated. Moreover, tools to test for such higher-order visual capacities in children are limited. In an attempt to develop and refine such tools, we selected nine tests to assess visuo-attentional abilities before formal reading education (grade 1). The battery consisted of…

Association between Early Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Symptoms and Current Verbal and Visuo-Spatial Short-Term Memory
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Gau, Susan Shur-Fen; Chiang, Huey-Ling – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2013
Deficits in short-term memory are common in adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but their current ADHD symptoms cannot well predict their short-term performance. Taking a developmental perspective, we wanted to clarify the association between ADHD symptoms at early childhood and short-term memory in late childhood and…

Comorbid ADHD and DCD: Examining Cognitive Functions Using the WISC-IV
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Loh, Pek Ru; Piek, Jan P.; Barrett, Nicholas C. – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
This study explored the cognitive performance of children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and/or Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) using the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-IV. Participants were 62 children with ages between 9 years 8 months and 12 years 7 months. These children were placed into one of the…

Deficits of Visuospatial Attention with Reflexive Orienting Induced by Eye-Gazed Cues in Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder in the Lower Extremities: An Event-Related Potential Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Tsai, Chia-Liang; Pan, Chien-Yu; Chang, Yu-Kai; Wang, Chun-Hao; Tseng, Ko-Da – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2010
The present study aims to investigate and compare the behavioral performance and event-related potentials (ERPs) measures in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) and typically developing (TD) children when performing the visuospatial attention task with reflexive orienting. Thirty children with DCD and 30 TD children were…

Su, Chwen-Yng; Lin, Yueh-Hsien; Wu, Yuh-Yih; Chen, Ching-Chiang – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2008
Few studies have specifically investigated the cognitive correlates of employment for persons with mental retardation. To evaluate the relationship of cognitive and adaptive functioning to work status, 56 competitively employed and 55 unemployed individuals with mental retardation underwent a comprehensive neuropsychological and adaptive…
