What is Impact of visual processing skills on reading ability in Chinese deaf children about?

## Background: Reading activity involves visual processing in nature. compared with hearing people, visual processing may be more critical for deaf people. however, much less research has explored the impact of visual processing on the reading ability of deaf children, and the mechanism underlying this relationship is unclear. ## Aims: This study aimed to examine whether and how visual processing skills predict reading ability in elementary school deaf children in china. ## Methods and procedures: A total of 118 chinese deaf children (mean age = 14.60 years) from grades 4-6 were tested on the tasks of visual-graphic processing, visual-orthographic processing, word segmentation, reading comprehension, and reading fluency. ## Outcomes and results: The results showed that after chronological age was controlled, visual-graphic processing and visual-orthographic processing significantly predicted chinese deaf children's reading ability. specifically, visual-orthographic processing played a mediating role in the effect of visual-graphic processing on reading ability, whereas word segmentation played a mediating role in the effect of visual-orthographic processing on reading ability. howe
