Rapid Automatized Naming (RAN) is a cognitive task used in psychological and educational assessments to evaluate an individual's processing speed and naming abilities. It involves presenting individuals with a series of familiar items, such as colors, numbers, objects, or letters, and asking them to name these items as quickly as possible. The performance on RAN tasks is thought to be linked to reading ability and language skills, as it measures how quickly and accurately one can retrieve and articulate information.
