[Ocular scanning modalities in dyslexic children (author's transl)].
Voluntary and reflex ocular scanning has been investigated in 55 dyslexic children, aged from 8 to 14 years 3 months, by means of potentiometric electrooculography with multiple monocular electrodes. Results are expressed in terms of amplitude, frequency, shape of movements and ocular congruence. A comparison between the oculomotor behaviour of dyslexic and normal children with no reading problem shows the same types of ocular movements as observed in normal schoolchildren, but they differ in their distribution according to age. Moreover, the evolution of oblique movements, described in normal children and correlated with the degree of schooling, is not the same in dyslexic children, where it instead seems to follow particular patterns. Finally, in stereotyped ocular scanning simulating reading movements, the dyslexics are characterized by the absence of two important stages leading to ocular congruence: scanning with random alternate monocular predominance and scanning with selected alternate monocular predominance.
