ANALYSIS OF DYSLEXIC STUDENTS READING DISORDER WITH EYE MOVEMENT TRACKING

In the study, we examine and compare dyslexic and normal readers, reading habits and eye movements during reading passages and pseudowords. Participants were 15 Turkish dyslexic students, suffering mainly from reading disorder. In addition there were 15 Turkish students who were regular readers and who did not have problems with reading. During reading passages and pseudowords, the eye movements of participants were recorded. For both text and pseudoword reading, the dyslexic readers exhibited more and much longer fixations, but relatively few regressions. An increased length of words and pseudowords led to a greater increase in the number of fixations for dyslexics rather than normal readers.
