Describes experiments showing that the eye movement patterns of dyslexic children differed from those of normal and backward readers during both a reading and a nonreading task. Discusses possible causes of dyslexia and ways of diagnosing it. (GT)

Studies the comparative componential skill analysis across both reading proficiency levels and processing demand conditions. Finds that initial predictions were generally supported: significant variance contribution models were found for comprehension disabled readers; skill components were significant predictors; and sensitive eye movement…

The application of computer technology to reading research has made it possible to study the perceptual processes that take place as people read with a level of precision never before attainable. This computer assisted research has revealed that where the eyes go for fixations is of significance to normal reading and that during each fixation only…
