For a dysmetric dyslexia-identifying test herebefore administered to a mixed audience of children, some being dyslexic and others not, the administration thereof now over the Internet to a dispersed audience preferably consisting of a child in the singular in facing relation to an Internet display module, to thereby obviate by this dispersion any audience-influencing behavior which heretofore affected the test results.

The within method contemplates the administration of a drug, effective as a cerebellar-vestibular harmonizing agent, as a prelude to reading for a patient who is or will become dysmetric dyslexic, the administered drug functioning in a sense like "eyeglasses" to improve the dynamic vision of the patient. In a partially analogous situation, in a person who suffers from motion sickness, commonly known as seasickness, the rocking of the boat or like motion produces an increased or excessive input to his cerebellar-vestibular circuits, with the result that such excessive stimulation causes nauseousness and related adverse effects. In a dysmetric dyslexic-identified patient, while he never experiences symptoms of motion sickness, i. e. nauseousness, during reading, he nevertheless has an overloading and dysharmony (i. e. excessive input) to his cerebellar-vestibular circuits as a result, obviously not of boat rocking or the like, but as a result of a dysfunctioning cerebellar-vestibular, a dysfunctioning discovered to exist in dysmetric dyslexic patients.

The use of an eye exercise to induce a mild and tolerable nystagmus in a dysmetric dyslexic child having a cerebellar-vestibular dysfunction, and in so doing call forth compensating mechanisms in the child which are effective in improving the child's ocular fixation, sequential scanning and reading activity. The aforesaid calling forth of said compensating mechanisms beneficially provides a reflex reduction of the cerebellar-vestibular induced dysfunction of the dyslexic child. It is analogous to what occurs in amblyopia, in which compensation in the form of central functional suppression of vision in one eye is restored to in order to avoid double vision and the discomfort it gives rise to. Also, like amblyopia, if the dysfunctioning of the cerebellar-vestibular is not detected early and corrected, as by the compensation referred to, it might become irreversible in time. In one preferred form the eye exercise is one which requires dysmetric dyslexic children to track sequential stimuli moving across their line of vision at a speed just below their blurring threshold.

The discovery that the condition of dysmetric dyslexia results from dysfunctioning of the cerebellar-vestibular underlies the method of U. S. Pat. No. 3,842,822 issued on Oct. 22, 1974, which method uses blurring and scrambling of sequential visual stimuli to identify and measure ocular motor coordination, i. e. ocular fixation and sequential scanning abilities. As an improvement and/or alternative to the above method, the within methods, which also are useful in identifying dysmetric dyslexic children in an examination group, use response to acoustical and/or tactile stimulation, rather than response to visual stimuli, to identify said condition.

Subjects possibly suffering from dysmetric dyslexia are screened by providing a visual display consisting of a plurality of discrete objects moving in a continuous line between a pair of spaced stationary objects. The subject reads the display from a distance at which normal subjects being screened are capable of seeing not only the moving objects but both stationary objects within their field of vision, and failing to see the entire display are identified as possibly being dyslexic.
