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.
