Rapid serial naming tasks are frequently used to explain variance in reading skill. However, the construct being measured by rapid naming is yet undetermined. The Phonological Processing theory suggests that rapid naming relates to reading because of similar demands of access to long-term stored phonological representations of visual stimuli. Some researchers have argued that isolated or discrete-trial naming is a more precise measure of lexical access than serial naming, thus it is likely that any shared variance between these two formats can be attributed to similar lexical access demands. The present study examined whether there remained any variance in reading ability that could be uniquely explained by the rapid naming task while controlling for isolated naming. Structural equation modeling was used to examine these relations within the context of the phonological processing model. Results indicated that serial naming uniquely predicted reading, and the relation was stronger with isolated naming controlled for, suggesting that isolated naming functioned as a suppressor variable in the relation of serial naming with reading.
快速序列命名任务经常被用来解释阅读技能的差异。然而,快速命名所测量的结构尚未确定。语音加工理论认为,快速命名与阅读相关,因为获取视觉刺激的长期存储语音表征有相似的要求。一些研究者认为,孤立或离散试验命名比序列命名更能精确测量词汇通达,因此这两种形式之间的任何共同差异都可能归因于相似的词汇通达需求。本研究在控制孤立命名的情况下,考察了快速命名任务是否仍能唯一解释阅读能力的差异。采用结构方程模型在语音加工模型的背景下检验这些关系。结果表明,序列命名能唯一预测阅读,且在控制了孤立命名的情况下,这种关系更强,这表明孤立命名在序列命名与阅读的关系中起到了抑制变量的作用。
