Rapid Automatized Naming of Pictures for Children: Validity Studies and Intra-Group Norms

Abstract

Rapid naming tasks evaluate lexical access. We report a validity study and norms for the Rapid Automatized Naming Task, composed of six randomized pictures distributed on two cards (Part A and B). A representative sample of children from 2nd to 5th grades of elementary schools of Sao Paulo City (N = 728) was tested in the task and word recognition. Response time and accuracy were collected. As expected, the following evidences were observed: (1) grade effect for response time and accuracy, (2) response time and error rates were higher for Part B, (3) correlation between Part A and B was significant (p < 0.05), and (4) response time and accuracy predicted decoding ability. The results support different sources of validity evidence for the task.
