Eye Movements During Sentence Processing in High-functioning Autistic Children Compared to Neurotypical Peers: An Eye Tracking Study.
Introduction: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder. The pattern of eye movements during reading can significantly impact reading quality. This study aimed to examine the eye movement patterns, which are essential for reading, in children with ASD compared to their neurotypical peers.
Methods: This study focused on two crucial indicators influencing reading: Eye fixation time and saccade movement. A comparison of parameters of saccade movements and eye fixation in a sentence reading task was done between two groups using an eye tracker device. Autistic children (15 children, mean age: 102.33 months) and their neurotypical peers (17 children, mean age: 101.69 months) participated in this study.
Results: Compared to their neurotypical peers, children with ASD had lower amplitude while reading sentences (P=0.02). These children used more fixations to read the words in the sentence (P=0.02). Comparing the total time spent reading a sentence between the two groups shows that autistic children need more time to read a sentence (P=0.02).
Conclusion: These results suggest that low-level sensorimotor processes in generating accurate eye movements, such as the dorsal visual pathway and cerebellum, can significantly impact the reading quality of children with ASD.
期刊介绍:
BCN is an international multidisciplinary journal that publishes editorials, original full-length research articles, short communications, reviews, methodological papers, commentaries, perspectives and “news and reports” in the broad fields of developmental, molecular, cellular, system, computational, behavioral, cognitive, and clinical neuroscience. No area in the neural related sciences is excluded from consideration, although priority is given to studies that provide applied insights into the functioning of the nervous system. BCN aims to advance our understanding of organization and function of the nervous system in health and disease, thereby improving the diagnosis and treatment of neural-related disorders. Manuscripts submitted to BCN should describe novel results generated by experiments that were guided by clearly defined aims or hypotheses. BCN aims to provide serious ties in interdisciplinary communication, accessibility to a broad readership inside Iran and the region and also in all other international academic sites, effective peer review process, and independence from all possible non-scientific interests. BCN also tries to empower national, regional and international collaborative networks in the field of neuroscience in Iran, Middle East, Central Asia and North Africa and to be the voice of the Iranian and regional neuroscience community in the world of neuroscientists. In this way, the journal encourages submission of editorials, review papers, commentaries, methodological notes and perspectives that address this scope.
