RAN is rapid automatic naming, and is a form of retrieval fluency
I think this is similar to what DD had on the D-KEFS in terms of the letter fluency score (I think the kid is supposed to name things that start with a certain letter)...she was in the below average range. He said she has slow proc. speed even though her latest WISC-IV processing speed score was in the above-average range.
The OT last year had her do a similar task (name animals that start with letters of the alphabet) and she basically freaked out and couldn't name much of anything. She also has anxiety issues.
