| Abstract | Recent experimental evidence in visual perception analysis shows that eye and finger movements strongly correlate during scene exploration, at both individual and group levels. A familiar context which exploits this synergistic behaviour is when children learn to read, with the practice of finger-pointing to text as a support for their attention focus, directional movement and voice-print match. Using a tablet to display short texts, we collected evidence on the finger-pointing behaviour of 3rd-6th Italian graders engaged in both silent and oral reading. "Finger-tracking" data, sampled by the tablet and aligned with the text, made it possible to time a child's reading paceat word and sentence level. Results are shown to replicate established benchmarks in the reading literature, such as the difference in reading pace between age-matched typical and atypical readers as a function of word frequency and length, and neighbourhood entropy and Old20. Atypical readers show increasing difficulty with longer words, with a steeper time increment for word length > 6, integrating previous evidence. In addition, neighbourhood density plays a sparse facilitative role in atypical reading, with no significant interaction with neighbourhood entropy, pointing to a non trivial developmental interplay between sublexical reading and the richness of the Italian orthographic-phonological lexicon. Despite their different dynamics, optical and tactile strategies for text exploration prove to be highly congruent: this suggests that finger-tracking can be used as an ecological proxy for eye-tracking in reading assessment. |
