Sumario:This work aims to show the usefulness of the methodology of eye tracking for the study of ADHD and, more specifically, to analyze the reading difficulties of children with ADHD. We present a brief summary of the main reading problems detected in this population. We will continue with a discussion about research on analyzing the eye movements in performing various cognitive tasks in subjects with ADHD, focusing on the area of reading. We end the article with a brief discussion of some of the clinical, psychological and educational implications of the use of this methodology for the study of reading in this population.
