The new method of macro eye movements (saccades) amplitude analysis in child tracking the discretely moving red colored star stimulus on the monitor screen is proposed. This method is supposed to be used for diagnosis of motor problems that can slow down dramatically the development of thinking and learning skills in children having no intellectual disabilities. It is shown that healthy children are able to catch the discretely moving stimulus properly and acquire 1 Hz rhythm of stimulus changing position, while the children with learning disabilities performed it less successfully.
