Abstract
The problem of printed text processing impairments in dyslexics is of current interest but not well developed. The integration of the activity approach and eye-tracking methods provides us the opportunity to manage the system structural and functional analysis the reading as an complex activity. The purpose of the present study was to examine the oculomotor behavior as referent of mental actions performed in the process of reading a written text by children with dyslexia. The study of the oculomotor behavior during a text reading in 9–11year children with dyslexia was carried out. An eye movements during the text reading were recorded by means of eye-tracker. All participants were presented two kinds of texts: two expository texts and two narrative texts. The fixation’s number and duration and regressive saccade number and duration was registered; the distribution of regressive saccade with different amplitudes (very short, short, medium and long) were analyzed. Statistical analysis of data revealed the significant between group distinctions in all gaze movements measures. These data proved that children with dyslexia have reading activity disfunction both on the lexical and propositional and semantic levels.
