Study summary

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.

Interventions

  • OtherPassing tests in dyslexics with reduced eva

    Visual attention span : the subject see a 5 letters strings during 200 ms and he has to report it orally 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 tests to judge his visuo spatial abilities. All of these tests will be made during an unique visit of 1h30.

  • OtherPassing 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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Respond time in visual search in different condition of view (full view or reduced view) with separable feature.

    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.

    Time frame: Day 0

Secondary outcomes

  1. respond time in function of the distractors' number

    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)

    Time frame: Day 0

  2. visual exploration of the scene

    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.

    Time frame: Day 0

  3. visuo-spatial perception

    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.

    Time frame: Day 0

  4. visual attention span (VAS)

    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.

    Time frame: Day 0

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jul 2018 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Oct 2026, 98 months after the start.

Of 62 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Dyslexia, half reached primary completion within 24 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 57. This study's planned 98 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 69 studies reached it within 24 months; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 57.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 29, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
