A new visual-verbal saccade test: the development eye movement test (DEM)

Abstract

The use of presently available clinical oculomotor tests of a visual-verbal format are limited because they do not evaluate automaticity of number naming. There is a significant relationship between automaticity of number naming and reading performance. Presented is a new oculomotor test that has a specific method to factor out the consequences of automaticity on oculomotor performance. Normative data for children age 6-13 years is provided, in addition to reliability and validity information. Clinical utilization of this test for diagnosis and management in visually related learning problems is offered.
