  • Title: Applying eye movement miscue analysis to the reading patterns of children with language impairment.
    Author: Nelson RL, Damico JS, Smith SK.
    Journal: Clin Linguist Phon; 2008; 22(4-5):293-303. PubMed ID: 18415728.
    Abstract:
    This paper presents a research report on an investigation into the reading eye movements of a bilingual 10-year, 10-month old girl with language impairment secondary to Downs Syndrome. Eye movement miscue analysis (Paulson, 2000) was employed to evaluate the visual sampling and oral productions of this child as she read from complete texts presented in Spanish and English. Results are presented in relationship to misconceptions manifest in the clinical practice of intervention providers. Based upon the research and this data, readers do not fixate on every word and the miscues they produce are not the result of failing to fixate on the text.
