“…This method has gained popularity as a diagnostic tool and is used to study how linguistic and nonlinguistic processes shape the listener's understanding of sentences. Eye tracking measures have been used with neurologically healthy participants (see review in Huettig et al, 2011) and also clinical populations including individuals with autism spectrum disorders (Boraston & Blakemore, 2007), Parkinson's disease (Lee, 2017;Schwartz et al, 2018), primary progressive aphasia (Faria et al, 2018;Seckin et al, 2016), and traumatic brain injury (Thiessen et al, 2017) as well as persons with aphasia (PWA; Knilans & DeDe, 2015).…”

Aim The aim of this scoping review is to identify the eye tracking paradigms and eye movement measures used to investigate auditory and reading comprehension deficits in persons with aphasia (PWA). Method MEDLINE via PubMed, Cochrane, CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO, OTseeker, Scopus, Google Scholar, Grey Literature Database, and ProQuest Search (Dissertations & Theses) were searched for relevant studies. The Covidence software was used to manage the initial and full-text screening process for the search. Results and Discussion From a total of 1,803 studies, 68 studies were included for full-text screening. In addition, 418 records from gray literature were also screened. After full-text screening, 16 studies were included for this review—12 studies for auditory comprehension in PWA and four studies for reading comprehension in PWA. The review highlights the use of common eye tracking paradigms used to study language comprehension in PWA. We also discusse eye movement measures and how they help in assessing auditory and reading comprehension. Methodological challenges of using eye tracking are discussed. Conclusion The studies summarized in this scoping review provide evidence that the eye tracking methods are beneficial for studying auditory and reading comprehension in PWA.

Purpose The study purpose was to compare the speed and accuracy with which people with traumatic brain injury (TBI) identified themes depicted in visual scene and grid displays. Additionally, we compared the verbal responses associated with the 2 display types to determine whether adults with TBI tended to produce more action or naming messages. Method Thirteen adults with and 13 without TBI viewed grid and visual scene displays matched for content and theme. They then provided verbal responses stating the theme or central idea of each image. Results Although no significant differences were noted between groups for theme identification accuracy, adults with TBI required significantly more time than adults without TBI to process both display types. Both participant groups more rapidly and accurately identified visual scenes than grid displays. Additionally, participants with and without TBI produced more action messages in response to visual scenes and naming messages in response to grid displays. Conclusions This investigation provides preliminary evidence that themes that depicted visual scenes maybe more rapidly and accurately identified than those depicted in grid displays. Additionally, visual scenes may more effectively represent action messages, and grids may more effectively represent naming messages for people with TBI.

Purpose This research note reports on how small changes to the organization of a simulated display for augmentative and alternative communication influence the visual search patterns of individuals with Down syndrome or autism, as measured through eye tracking technologies. Prior research had demonstrated that clustering symbols by their internal color facilitates search and reduces attention to distracters, in children with typical development. This research systematically replicated the procedures with individuals with Down syndrome or autism spectrum disorder. Method Participants engaged in a visual search task on a monitor with embedded automated eye tracking technology. Patterns of gaze during search were measured via this technology. Results Participants were significantly faster to fixate on the target and to select it with the mouse when the like-colored symbols were clustered together. In addition, participants were significantly less likely to fixate on distracters in the clustered condition. No group differences were found. Conclusions Small changes to the organization of the simulated augmentative and alternative communication display resulted in substantial differences in eye gaze and speed to find a target. Of greatest clinical import is the finding that clustering symbols reduced attention to distracters, given that individuals with disabilities may be prone to distraction.
