The study presents the results of analyses of eye movement features when performing letter search tasks in lexical and sub-lexical environments. The task of searching for a particular grapheme by the respondents is approximated to real-life conditions, since in the course of language learning students regularly face the tasks of searching for certain orthograms in educational texts or self-checking tasks (i.e., errors in their own texts), which is especially important for children with dysorphographia, regulatory dysgraphia, and other learning difficulties. Forty-nine children aged 9 to 10 years participated in the study. Reading skills were assessed using the Standardized Assessment of Reading Skills (SARS). Nonverbal intelligence was assessed by using Raven’s coloured progressive matrices. Participants performed a letter search task in text and letter list, eye movements were recorded using the EyeLink 1000 Plus eye tracker. Rank correlation analyses showed that the level of reading skill development was related to the efficiency of finding specific items in a given context. In addition, the duration and number of gaze fixations on the searched units in the letter list were not always related to the number of correct answers, indicating a complex process of visual attention during the search task. In addition, it was observed that foveal vision was not always necessary for performing search tasks in children with normally developed reading skill levels. The study also investigated the concept of functional visual field and how the surroundings of the items being searched affect the attentional mechanisms involved in visual search. Overall, this study provides evidence on the relationship between reading skills, attention and visual information processing, which contributes to understanding reading strategies in children with dyslexia and creating new methods for screening children with dyslexia in the future.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Дети с разным уровнем сформированности навыка чтения демонстрируют разную скорость обработки информации, точность прочтения текстов и когнитивные стратегии. В исследовании приводятся результаты анализа особенностей движения глаз при выполнении заданий на поиск букв в лексическом и сублексическом окружении. Задача поиска определенной графемы респондентами приближена к реальным условиям, поскольку в ходе изучения языковых дисциплин учащиеся регулярно сталкиваются с задачами поиска тех или иных орфограмм в учебных текстах или с задачами самопроверки (т.е., ошибок в собственных текстах), что особенно важно для детей с дизорфографией, регуляторной дисграфией и другими трудностями обучения. В исследовании приняли участие 49 детей в возрасте от 9 до 10 лет. Навыки чтения оценивались с помощью Стандартизированной методики исследования навыка чтения (СМИНЧ). Невербальный интеллект оценивался с помощью цветных прогрессивных матриц Равена. Участники выполняли задание на поиск букв в тексте и списке букв, движения глаз регистрировались с помощью айтрекера EyeLink 1000 Plus. Ранговый корреляционный анализ показал, что уровень развития навыков чтения связан с эффективностью поиска конкретных элементов в определенном контексте. Кроме того, длительность и количество фиксаций взгляда на искомых единицах в списке букв не всегда были связаны с количеством правильных ответов, что свидетельствует о сложном процессе зрительного внимания в ходе выполнения поисковой задачи. Кроме того, было замечено, что фовеальное зрение не всегда обязательно для выполнения поисковых задач у детей с нормально развитым уровнем навыка чтения. В исследовании также изучались концепция функционального зрительного поля и то, как окружение искомых элементов влияют на механизмы внимания, задействованные в зрительном поиске. В целом данное исследование позволяет получить сведения о взаимосвязи между навыками чтения, вниманием и обработкой визуальной информации, что способствует пониманию читательских стратегий у детей с дислексией и созданию новых методов скрининга детей с дислексией в дальнейшем.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>dyslexia</kwd><kwd>letter-finding tasks</kwd><kwd>eye tracking</kwd><kwd>visual information processing</kwd><kwd>reading skills</kwd><kwd>attention</kwd><kwd>functional visual field</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>дислексия</kwd><kwd>задачи на поиск букв</kwd><kwd>айтрекинг</kwd><kwd>обработка визуальной информации</kwd><kwd>навыки чтения</kwd><kwd>внимание</kwd><kwd>функциональное поле зрения</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The work was funded by the Strategic Academic Leadership Program of Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University (Priority 2030).</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Публикация выполнена в рамках проекта программы стратегического академического лидерства Казанского (Поволжского) Федерального университета (Приоритет 2030).</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Horowitz-Kraus T., Rosch, K., Fotang, J., Mostofsky, S., Schlaggar, B., Pekar, J., Taran, N. &amp; Farah, R.
