Abstract: While rapid automatized naming (RAN) is recognized as a predictor of reading, it is unclear whether RAN is related to a particular reading route. This study aims to better understand the relationship between RAN and both reading processes (phonological decoding or lexical processing). One hundred and twenty-six children (Mage = 8.89 years) were separated into two groups based on their performance in irregular word reading. Children from the phonological decoding group obtained significantly lower scores for RAN objects than children from the lexical processing group, but the scores of the two groups were equivalent for the other RAN matrices. Correlations showed a stronger relationship between RAN objects and irregular word reading than pseudoword reading. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
