The Influence of Item Composition on RAN Letter Performance in First-Grade Children.

Compton, Donald L.

Journal of Special Education, v37 n2 p81-94 Sum 2003

A study investigated whether changing the letter composition of the Denckla and Rudel rapid automatized naming (RAN) task influenced task performance and the RAN word identification skill relationships in 383 first graders. Substituting a letter that was visually similar to other letters had the greatest influence on RAN speed and accuracy performance. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
