Abstract

This study aimed to explore phonological retrieval and phonological memory skills in second to third graders with dyslexia, poor comprehension, and typical development. The participants included 17 children with dyslexia, 17 children with poor comprehension, and 24 typically developing children. Children with dyslexia scored below 85 on the word decoding test, poor comprehender scored above 90 on the word decoding, and below 85 on the reading comprehension test and typical children scored above 90 on both reading tests. All participants were assessed on rapid automatized naming (RAN) and nonword repetition (NWR). The result indicated that children with dyslexia performed significantly worse on RAN and NWR tasks than other groups. However, there was significant differences between poor comprehender and typically developing children. Furthermore, only RAN were significantly correlated with word decoding and reading comprehension in children with dyslexia. For typically developing children, RAN was correlated with word decoding and reading comprehension, while NWR had a significant correlation with reading comprehension. No correlations were found between these variables for poor comprehender. The finding suggests that children with dyslexia showed difficulties on phonological retrieval and phonological memory, which are essential for reading development while poor comprehender do not have difficulties with phonological processing skills. Phonological processing deficits may underlie word decoding difficulties in dyslexia.

본 연구는 초등 2-3학년 난독증 아동과 읽기이해부진 아동의 음운인출과 음운기억 능력을 살펴보고자 하였다. 본 연구에는 난독증 아동 17명, 읽기이해부진 아동 17명, 일반 아동 24명이 참여하였다. 난독증 아동은 표준화된 읽기검사의 단어해독 검사에서 표준점수 85점 이하인 아동으로 선정하였으며, 읽기이해부진 아동은 단어해독 검사에서는 표준점수 90점 이상이며 읽기이해 검사에서는 표준점수 85점 이하인 아동, 그리고 일반 아동은 단어해독과 읽기이해 검사 모두에서 표준점수 90점 이상인 아동으로 선정하였다. 모든 대상자에게 음운인출 능력을 살펴보기 위해 빠른 이름대기, 음운기억 능력을 살펴보기 위해 비단어 따라말하기 검사를 실시하였다. 연구 결과 난독증 아동은 빠른 이름대기와 비단어 따라말하기에서 다른 두 집단보다 통계적으로 유의하게 수행력이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 반면 읽기이해부진 아동과 일반 아동 간에는 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 각 집단 별로 상관 분석을 실시한 결과 난독증 아동 집단에서는 빠른 이름대기 능력이 해독 및 읽기이해와 통계적으로 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 일반 아동 집단에서는 빠른 이름대기 능력이 해독 및 읽기이해와 관련이 있었으며, 비단어 따라말하기는 읽기이해와 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 읽기이해부진 집단에서는 변인들간에 관련성이 나타나지 않았다. 본 연구 결과 난독증 아동은 읽기 발달의 토대가 되는 음운인출과 음운기억에서 어려움이 있는 반면, 읽기이해부진 아동은 음운처리 기술에서는 결함이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 난독증 아동의 단어해독 어려움은 음운처리 결함에 기인한 것으로 해석할 수 있다.
