Abstract:
Relations of visual attention to reading have long been hypothesized; however, findings in this literature are quite mixed. These relations have been investigated using several different visual attention paradigms and with variable controls for other competing reading-related processes. We extended current knowledge by evaluating four of the key visual attention paradigms used in this research—visual attention span, attention blink, visual search, and visuospatial attention—in a single study. We tested the relations of these to reading in middle schoolers at high risk for reading difficulties while considering their effect in the context of known language predictors.
Keywords:
Attentional blink; Language; Visual attention span; Visual search; Visuospatial attention; Word reading
