报告时间：3月26日（周一）上午10：00

报告地点：英东楼422

报告题目：Rapid naming speed: What does it  predict, when and how

报告摘要：Rapid automatized naming, defined as  the ability to name as fast as possible visually presented familiar symbols such  as digits, letters (characters), colors, and objects is one of the best  predictors of reading across languages (see Kirby, Georgiou, Martinussen, &  Parrila, 2010, Wolf & Bowers, 1999, for reviews). In this presentation I  will present evidence on the predictive value of rapid naming, the time when it  is more predictive of reading, and the mechanism that is responsible for the  rapid naming-reading relationship. Importantly, I will present evidence from two  studies I conducted with colleagues in Chinese (Mandarin-speaking  children).
