Abstract
This study investigates the effect of dyslexia on eye fixations during the cognitive process of reading and understanding words using the eye tracking method. Dyslexia is one of the most important learning disorders that affects the ability to read and understand text. Using the eye movement monitoring device, this research investigates the eye movement differences in the number of 30 students with dyslexia and healthy students in two experimental (15 people) and control (15 people) groups in the 2nd education district of Karaj in the academic year 1402-1403. This study uses the clinical trial method in its methodological framework. The research tools include Wechsler's four-way scale for screening of learning disabilities and a questionnaire for screening children with dyslexia. Research results show that students with dyslexia have more fixations than healthy students, which can help early diagnosis of this disorder.
