Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
In this study, the investigators aimed to investigate the effectiveness of reading rehabilitation using perceptual learning paradigms in enhancing reading performance in patients with reading difficulties due to DMO. Also, the fundamental mechanisms explaining the reading problems in patients with DMO reading Chinese will be examined.
The investigators hypothesize that the perceptual training would show an improvement in reading. The investigators' primary hypothesis is that temporal visual processing speed and spatial visual span will be improved after perceptual training. The investigators' secondary hypothesis is that the reading speed and fixation stability will be improved after training.
