Dyslexics' Visual Attention Field

February 28, 2024 updated by: Hospices Civils de Lyon

Evaluation of the Visuo-attention Field of Symbols Versus Objects Visual Search in Dyslexic Subjects. DyslexiaSPOTLIGHT

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.

Study Overview

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
1460

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

3 years to 12 years (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • normal or corrected to normal vision
  • diagnosed dyslexics with a recent "alouette" test

Exclusion Criteria:

  • other developmental problem (dysphasia, dyspraxia, ADHD)
  • strabismus, amblyopia, oculomotor paralysis

Study Plan

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Active Comparator: controls
Other: 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.
Experimental: Dyslexics with reduced visual attention span
21 subjects diagnosed dyslexics with reduced visual attention span

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Respond time in visual search in different condition of view (full view or reduced view) with separable feature.
Time Frame: Day 0
The subject will have to find a target among distractors, when he will find it, he will have to push a button and we will have his respond time. We will compare the respond time in two view condition: the participant will see all the visual scene or he will have reduced visible window so he won't see all the scene, the periphery will be hide and he will have to move his sight to show it.
Day 0

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
respond time in function of the distractors' number
Time Frame: Day 0
The subject will have to find a target among distractors, when he will find it, he will have to push a button and we will collect his respond time. We compare the respond time between two number of distractors (24 or 48)
Day 0
visual exploration of the scene
Time Frame: Day 0
with an eye tracker the investigator will analyze the ocular movements during visual search (saccades and fixations) and the equip will compare the visual behavior between the different groups and the different conditions.
Day 0
visuo-spatial perception
Time Frame: Day 0
the investigator will test with different exercises the elementary visuo spatial perception of the participant and he will compare between groups and also he will make correlation with the respond time in visual search.
Day 0
visual attention span (VAS)
Time Frame: Day 0
the subject have to report orally a 5 letters' string presented during 200 ms, the investigator could see if a correlation exist between VAS and RT, VAS and visual exploration, VAS and visuo spatial perception.
Day 0
