Dyslexics' Visual Attention Field
Sponsor: Hospices Civils de Lyon
Summary
dyslexia is often considered like a phonological deficit but some researches show that a visual attention (V-A) deficit can occur in dyslexia. The investigator want to show that some dyslexics have a reduced V-A field in visual search when the investigator use separable feature (letter-like). If the investigator demonstrate that, he will show that V-A deficit can be transpose to an ability acquired before reading, the visual search. Therefore, the V-A deficit can't be a consequence of reading problem but a cause of it for some dyslexics. The investigator could imagine an earlier diagnosis for children at risk to develop dyslexia and make reeducation more specific for the deficit observed.

Passing tests in dyslexics with reduced eva
Visual attention span : the subject see a 5 letters strings during 200 ms and he has to report it orally whatever the order Visual search : the subject has to find a target among distractors (24 or 48) in different conditions of stimuli (conjunction feature or separable feature) and different conditions of view (full view or reduced view with the moving window paradigm) Elementary visuo spatial perception: the subject passes 6 visuo spatial tests to judge his visuo spatial abilities. All of these tests will be made during an unique visit of 1h30.
Passing tests in controls
Visual attention span : the subject see a 5 letters strings during 200 ms and he has to report it verbally whatever the order Visual search : the subject has to find a target among distractors (24 or 48) in different conditions of stimuli (conjunction feature or separable feature) and different conditions of view (full view or reduced view with the moving window paradigm) Elementary visuo spatial perception: the subject passes 6 visuo spatial test to judge his visuo spatial abilities. "test de l'alouette" : reading test during 3 minutes, we note the number of word read and the errors. We obtain lexical age. All of these tests will be made during an unique visit of 1h30.
