Abstract: | We examined the relationship between rapid naming speed (RAN) and Chinese character recognition accuracy and fluency. Sixty-three
grade 2 and 54 grade 4 Taiwanese children were administered four RAN tasks (colors, digits, Zhu-Yin-Fu-Hao, characters), and
two character recognition tasks. RAN tasks accounted for more reading variance in grade 4 than in grade 2, and graphological
RAN tasks accounted for more reading variance than RAN Colors. After controlling for age, nonverbal intelligence, phonological
sensitivity, short-term memory, and orthographic processing, RAN tasks were significant predictors of character recognition
fluency in grade 2, and of both accuracy and fluency in grade 4. |
