Picture naming
oculomotor dysfunction, dyslexia
We did not use a rapid automatized naming (RAN) task, because RAN requires fast automatized access to the phonological representation of serially (repeatedly) displayed visual stimuli. A RAN deficit has been reported in many studies, but its interpretation is still controversial [In contrast to our current and previous findings that were based on eye movement recordings, a study about children with dyslexia in English reported a CN deficit–assessed as percentage of correct responses, but used a different study design and a larger number of stimuli [The positive statistically significant correlation between the number of fixations during naming pictures and Chinese characters in Chinese observed in group DD might be an indication of a predictive value for good performance in a non-alphabetic, logographic script such as Chinese. However, this slight correlation cannot yet be evaluated due to the low number of pictures used in the current study and should be examined in future studies.Furthermore, the normal CN-picture naming performance contradicts the assumption of an underlying oculomotor dysfunction in children with dyslexia, which we also found in previous studies [
