During the last decades, rapid automatized naming (RAN) has been widely examined as a predictor of reading ability, but very few studies have examined the development of RAN itself. The present study followed children from ages 4 until 10, focusing on RAN performance in a developmental perspective. Relations within and between alphanumeric and nonalphanumeric RAN were investigated both concurrently and over time. The result shows that individual differences in RAN objects are stable between ages 4 and 10, with the most rapid growth of mean performance between ages 4 and 6. Early performance on RAN objects predicts both performance on RAN digits and RAN letters at age 8 and the further development between ages 8 and 10. Further, low‐performing children at age 4 develop their performance on RAN digits and RAN letters later compared with high‐performing children, and RAN digits performance reaches a plateau earlier than RAN letters performance.

从4到10岁之间的发展角度快速自动命名

在过去的几十年中，快速自动命名（RAN）已被广泛研究为阅读能力的预测指标，但很少有研究研究RAN本身的发展。本研究追踪了4至10岁的儿童，并从发展的角度关注RAN的表现。字母数字和非字母数字RAN内和之间的关系被同时和随时间进行了研究。结果表明，RAN对象的个体差异在4岁到10岁之间是稳定的，平均表现的增长最快是在4岁和6岁之间。RAN对象的早期表现预示了在8岁时RAN数字和RAN字母的表现以及8至10岁之间的进一步发展。此外，
