Hence, the aim of this research was to investigate problems of visual working memory based on behavioral neuroscience method, using an eye tracker device. The method of present study was ex-post facto study. The participants included couple of twelve children with SLD (mean age=10.92) and without SLD (mean age=12.50). For measuring visual working memory, CORSI task was used and eye-tracking was used for recording saccade duration, saccade frequency, saccade amplitude, and saccade latency and saccade velocity. The findings highlighted that there is a significant difference in block span, total score and memory span between children with/without SLD (P< 0.05). There was a clear difference in saccade amplitude and saccade duration between two groups and these indexes were poor in SLDs. Based on these findings, further studies of neural mechanisms of visual working memory in SLDs are needed for better clarification of such deficits.</p> Visual Working Memory, Saccade, Specific Learning Disorder, Eye-Tracking 89 89 http://shefayekhatam.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-24-1212&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Shamim Razaghi Kashani Shamim Razaghi Kashani sh.razaghi@student.alzahra.ac.ir 100319475328460015685 100319475328460015685 Yes Department of Educational Psychology, Alzahra University, Tehran, Iran Department of Educational Psychology, Alzahra University, Tehran, Iran Mahnaz Akhavan Tafti Mahnaz Akhavan Tafti 100319475328460015686 100319475328460015686 No Department of Educational Psychology, Alzahra University, Tehran, Iran Department of Educational Psychology, Alzahra University, Tehran, Iran Mohammad Javad Asghari Ebrahimabad Mohammad Javad Asghari Ebrahimabad 100319475328460015687 100319475328460015687 No Department of Psychology, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Mashhad, Iran Department of Psychology, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Mashhad, Iran
