Given that inhibition interacts with visual temporal processing (VTP), the past evidence regarding the influence of VTP on the Chinese character reading of children with dyslexia may not disclose the whole picture without considering inhibition. Thus, the present study is among the first to investigate VTP and cognitive inhibition as well as their relationships to Chinese character reading. We compared the performances of 62 Chinese-speaking children with dyslexia in primary school (n = 62, Mage = 11.36 years) on VTP and inhibition tasks to those in a chronological-age-matched group (CA; n = 62, Mage = 11.57 years) and reading-level-matched group (RL; n = 62, Mage = 8.98 years). The results revealed that children with dyslexia performed worse than both the CA-matched and RL-matched groups in VTP and inhibition after controlling for age, nonverbal intelligence, and attention. Moreover, the relationship between VTP and Chinese character reading was moderated by inhibition in children with dyslexia. VTP is positively related to Chinese character reading, but this relationship is observed only at higher levels of inhibition. Our results suggest that inhibition plays a potential role in VTP and Chinese character reading, especially for those with dyslexia whose proficiency in inhibition is not as intact as that of typically developing children.

视觉时间处理如何影响阅读障碍儿童的汉字阅读？从抑制的角度来看。


鉴于抑制与视觉时间处理（VTP）相互作用，过去有关VTP对阅读障碍儿童汉字阅读影响的证据可能无法在不考虑抑制的情况下揭示全部情况。因此，本研究是最早研究 VTP 和认知抑制及其与汉字阅读关系的研究之一。我们将 62 名患有小学阅读障碍的华语儿童（n = 62，Mage = 11.36 岁）在 VTP 和抑制任务上的表现与年龄匹配组（CA；n = 62，Mage = 11.57）进行了比较年）和阅读水平匹配组（RL；n = 62，Mage = 8.98 岁）。结果显示，在控制年龄、非语言智力和注意力后，阅读障碍儿童在 VTP 和抑制方面的表现比 CA 匹配组和 RL 匹配组都要差。此外，阅读障碍儿童的抑制作用调节了 VTP 与汉字阅读之间的关系。 VTP与汉字阅读呈正相关，但这种关系仅在较高的抑制水平下才能观察到。我们的结果表明，抑制在 VTP 和汉字阅读中发挥着潜在作用，特别是对于那些患有阅读障碍的人来说，他们的抑制能力不如正常发育的儿童那么完整。
