Visual search skills develop substantially during the primary school years, and in parallel with children's reading achievement. Reading requires an efficient visual search and exposure to reading from the left to the right could also influence the way we explore space. No study, however, made links between visual search strategies and reading ability. In this study, 70 primary school children performed a cancellation task (Bells test) and reading tests. Our results showed that reading was closely linked to visual search accuracy but also to visual search organization, even after controlling for age for some measures. Along with the development of reading abilities, children made fewer revisitation, moved more to the nearest unmarked targets than to the farthest ones and explored more in lines. It appears, therefore, essential to take more into account the visual search organization of children with reading impairments such as dyslexia.

法国小学生有组织的视觉搜索与阅读能力之间的联系

视觉搜索技能在小学阶段显着发展，并与儿童的阅读成就并行。阅读需要有效的视觉搜索，从左到右阅读也会影响我们探索空间的方式。然而，没有研究将视觉搜索策略与阅读能力联系起来。在这项研究中，70 名小学生进行了取消任务（贝尔斯测试）和阅读测试。我们的结果表明，阅读与视觉搜索的准确性密切相关，但也与视觉搜索的组织密切相关，即使在控制了某些测量的年龄之后也是如此。随着阅读能力的发展，孩子们减少了重访，更多地移动到最近的未标记目标而不是最远的目标，并且更多地探索。因此，看来，
