Abstract

Abstract: In the present study, 14 Chinese children with developmental dyslexia and 32 Chinese children that were matched with their age and reading level were selected to investigate the effects of gap and semantic information on the crowding effect of Chinese dyslexic children. The results showed that Chinese dyslexic children were more significantly affected by crowding effects than normal children, indicating that Chinese children with developmental dyslexia had visual processing deficits. Gap and semantic information influenced the crowding effect of Chinese children with developmental dyslexia, indicating that both low-level visual features and high-level linguistic information affect the size of the crowding effect, and the relationship between gap and crowding effect of Chinese children with developmental dyslexia may be U-shaped.

Key words: crowding effect, developmental dyslexia, gap, semantic information

摘要： 以14名阅读障碍儿童以及与其年龄和阅读水平相匹配的儿童为实验对象，考察了间距和语义对阅读障碍儿童拥挤效应的影响。结果发现阅读障碍儿童受拥挤效应的影响显著大于正常儿童，表明阅读障碍存在视觉加工缺陷；间距和语义均影响阅读障碍儿童的拥挤效应，表明影响阅读障碍儿童拥挤效应的因素既有刺激的低水平视觉特征，也有高水平语言信息；间距与阅读障碍儿童拥挤效应的关系呈U型。
