TLDR
This ability to identify and recognize a given item by the activation and concomitant articulation of its name tended to improve with age, which was not the case, however, with schoolchildren who had ADHD or dyslexia.Abstract:
Introduction: The effective development of reading and writing skills requires the concerted action of several abilities, one of which is phonological processing. One of the foremost components of phonological processing is rapid automatized naming (RAN)- the ability to identify and recognize a given item by the activation and concomitant articulation of its name. Objective: To assess the RAN performance of schoolchildren with dyslexia and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) compared with their peers. Methods: In total, 70 schoolchildren aged between 8‒11 years participated in the study. Of these, 16 children had a multiprofessional diagnosis of ADHD while 14 had been diagnosed with dyslexia. Matched with these groups, 40 schoolchildren with no history of developmental impairments were also evaluated. The RAN test was administered to assess the length of time required to name a series of familiar visual stimuli. The statistical analysis was conducted using measures of descriptive statistics and the 2-sample t-test at the 5% significance level. Results: The performance of the group with dyslexia was inferior to that of the control group, in all tasks and the ADHD group had inferior performance for color and letters-naming tasks. The schoolchildren with dyslexia and those with ADHD showed very similar response times. Age has shown to be an important variable to be analyzed separately. Children with typical language development have faster answers as they aged on colors and digits tasks while children with dyslexia or ADHD do not show improvement with age. Conclusions: The schoolchildren with dyslexia took longer to complete all tasks and ADHD took longer to complete digits and objects tasks in comparison to their peers with typical development. This ability tends to improve with age, which is not the case, however, with schoolchildren who have ADHD or dyslexia.read more

Qual a Contribuio da Nomeao Seriada Rpida para a Habilidade de Leitura e Escrita?: Evidncia de Crianas e Adolescentes com e sem Dificuldades de Leitura
TL;DR: The authors investigated the relationship between rapid serial naming and phoneme awareness, and reading and spelling ability, and found that rapid serial names are particularly important for the development of the ability to read by phonological recoding.

Corporate Social Responsibility and Employee Outcomes: Interrelations of External and Internal Orientations with Job Satisfaction and Organizational Commitment
TL;DR: In this article, the authors bring together social identity and social exchange perspectives to develop and test a moderated mediation model that sheds light on employees' perceptions regarding the interrelations between an organization's external and internal CSR initiatives and their job attitudes and work behaviours.

General and Specific Contributions of RAN to Reading and Arithmetic Fluency in First Graders: A Longitudinal Latent Variable Approach.
TL;DR: Interestingly, alphanumeric RANs (i.e., vowel RAN) were most promising when predicting reading skills and number-specific R ANs were most successful when predicting arithmetic fluency, which indicates that specific contributions of RAN measures to reading and arithmetic outcomes are important.

Neurodevelopmental comorbidity profile in specific learning disorders
TL;DR: A large multicentric study is needed to look for soft neurological signs and neuroimaging may be needed in SLD to understand the disorders in cognitive spectrum and soft signs and motor delay need not be overlooked in view of comprehensive management.

TL;DR: This chapter demonstrates the functional importance of dopamine to working memory function in several ways and demonstrates that a network of brain regions, including the prefrontal cortex, is critical for the active maintenance of internal representations.

Development of Reading-Related Phonological Processing Abilities: New Evidence of Bidirectional Causality from a Latent Variable Longitudinal Study.
TL;DR: The authors found that young children's phonological processing abilities are well-described by five correlated latent abilities: phonological analysis, phonological synthesis, phonology coding in working memory, isolated naming, and serial naming.
