چکیده
Título: La velocidad de denominación y su efecto en variables atencionales y errores de lectoescritura en función del diagnóstico. Resumen: Si bien la velocidad de denominación, generalmente evaluada con pruebas como el RAN/RAS ha demostrado su utilidad en la predicción de ciertos errores lectores y dificultades atencionales, hasta el momento no se ha analizado que variables predicen el rendimiento en la prueba. El objetivo del presente estudio es comprobar el poder explicativo de determinadas variables lectoras y atencionales sobre la velocidad de denominación en función del diagnóstico. Se utilizó una muestra de 132 estudiantes divididos en cuatro grupos (Control, n=34; Dificultades Lectoras, n=22; TDAH, n=41; y TDAH y Dificultades Lectoras, n=35). Los resultados mostraron: 1) en ausencia de dificultades, la velocidad de denominación es explicada por el CI, la edad y el género; 2) ante dificultades lectoras, las variables con mayor poder predictivo son los errores de lectura; 3) ante dificultades atencionales, son ciertas variables atencionales como los índices proporcionados por el TOVA, las que muestran una mayor significatividad. Palabras Clave: Velocidad denominación; ran/ras; dificultades lectoras; TDAH; problemas atencionales. Abstract: While naming speed, which is usually assessed with tests such as RAN / RAS, has proven to be useful in predicting certain reading errors and attentional difficulties, the variables that predict performance in the test have not been examined before now. The objective of this study is to test the explanatory power of certain reading and attentional variables over naming speed performance depending on diagnosis. A sample of 132 students, divided into four groups (Control, n=34; Reading difficulties, n= 22; ADHD, n=41; and ADHD+Reading Difficulties, n=35) was used. The results show: 1) without any difficulties, naming speed is explained by IQ, age and gender; 2) in the presence of reading difficulties, reading errors are the variables with more explanatory power; 3) in the presence of attentional difficulties, certain attentional variables such as those provided by the TOVA test were shown to be more significant.

Naming speed, motor skill, and auditory temporal processing (ATP) are constructs that are important to reading and language. These variables require processing timing information inherent in the stimulus or processing stimuli rapidly. ATP deficits are found in individuals with reading impairments, but studies are conflicting regarding the relationship between reading and ATP. This study examine...
