Journal ArticleDOI
Reading Test-Sentence Comprehension: An Adapted Version of Lobrot's Lecture 3 Test for Brazilian Portuguese.
TL;DR: The resulting adapted version of TELCS is called the Reading Test-Sentence Comprehension [Teste de Leitura: Compreensão de Sentenças (TELCS)] and was developed using the European Portuguese adaptation of L3 as a reference.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Spectral Overlays on Reading Performance of Brazilian Elementary School Children.
TL;DR: The use of spectral overlays can improve reading performance, particularly in those children with severe visual discomfort, as well as in the control group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnocellular visual function in developmental dyslexia: deficit in frequency-doubling perimetry and ocular motor skills.
Douglas de Araújo Vilhena,Márcia Reis Guimarães,Ricardo Queiroz Guimarães,Ângela Maria Vieira Pinheiro +3 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Visagraph III Eye-Movement Recording System (VRS) to evaluate ocular motor skills during text reading and found that the developmental dyslexia group had significantly worse contrast sensitivity in the frequency-doubling technology with strong effect size than the matched control group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reliability, Validity and Standardization of the Reading Test: Sentence Comprehension
TL;DR: The reading test called reading test: sentence comprehension (TELCS) as discussed by the authors has been validated and standardized and has demonstrated reliability and validity to classify reading performance by both school grade and chronological age.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectral Overlays for Reading Difficulties: Oculomotor Function and Reading Efficiency Among Children and Adolescents With Visual Stress.
Márcia Reis Guimarães,Douglas de Araújo Vilhena,Stephen J. Loew,Stephen J. Loew,Ricardo Queiroz Guimarães +4 more
TL;DR: It is shown that spectral filtering can be an effective tool for helping many young patients who experience visual–perceptual distortions while reading, and future expanded research employing eye-tracking technology is clearly needed.
