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…

Low Dimensional Temporal Organization of Spontaneous Eye Blinks in Adults with Developmental Disabilities and Stereotyped Movement Disorder
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lee, Mei-Hua; Bodfish, James W.; Lewis, Mark H.; Newell, Karl M. – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2010
This study investigated the mean rate and time-dependent sequential organization of spontaneous eye blinks in adults with intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) and individuals from this group who were additionally categorized with stereotypic movement disorder (IDD + SMD). The mean blink rate was lower in the IDD + SMD group than the IDD…

Assessing True and False Belief in Young Children with Cerebral Palsy through Anticipatory Gaze Behaviours: A Pilot Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Clarke, Michael T.; Loganathan, Deborah; Swettenham, John – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2012
Children with a clinical description of cerebral palsy (CP) commonly experience cognitive and sensory difficulties that co-occur with motor impairment, and for some children this can include impairments in social communication. While research has begun to examine theory of mind abilities in children with CP, relatively little is known about social…

Camera-Based Microswitch Technology for Eyelid and Mouth Responses of Persons with Profound Multiple Disabilities: Two Case Studies
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lancioni, Giulio E.; Bellini, Domenico; Oliva, Doretta; Singh, Nirbhay N.; O'Reilly, Mark F.; Sigafoos, Jeff – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2010
These two studies assessed camera-based microswitch technology for eyelid and mouth responses of two persons with profound multiple disabilities and minimal motor behavior. This technology, in contrast with the traditional optic microswitches used for those responses, did not require support frames on the participants' face but only small color…

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…

Lancioni, Giulio E.; Singh, Nirbhay N.; O'Reilly, Mark F.; Sigafoos, Jeff; Buonocunto, Francesca; Sacco, Valentina; Colonna, Fabio; Navarro, Jorge; Lanzilotti, Crocifissa; Bosco, Andrea; Megna, Gianfranco; De Tommaso, Marina – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2009
Post-coma persons in an apparent condition of vegetative state and pervasive motor impairment pose serious problems in terms of assessment and intervention options. A technology-based learning assessment procedure might serve for them as a diagnostic supplement with possible implications for rehabilitation intervention. The learning assessment…

Expecting the Worst: Observations of Reactivity to Sound in Young Children with Williams Syndrome
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Gallo, Frank J.; Klein-Tasman, Bonita P.; Gaffrey, Michael S.; Curran, Phillip – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2008
The study examined behavioral reactions to sound, including startle eye blinks, in young children with Williams syndrome (WS) using video-based observational techniques. Participants were 21 children with WS and 20 children with other developmental disabilities of mixed etiology between the ages of 2.5 and 6. Groups were matched for chronological…
