Background & Objectives: There exists inconsistency that phonological awareness, phonological memory, and rapid automatized naming are single ability or independent abilities in English Language. The limited number of studies on the relationships among phonological awareness, phonological memory, and rapid naming is available in shallow orthographies, including Korean. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine the factor structure of phonological processing.
Methods: To achieve this purpose, tests of phonological awareness, phonological memory, and rapid naming were administered to a total of 190 children(91 5-year- old children, 99 7-year-old children). The goodness of model fit has been evaluated for five theoretical models.
Results: Major findings of this study were summarized as follows. First, phonological awareness, phonological memory, and rapid naming were independent phonological processing abilities in both 5 and 7 year old children. Second, for 5 year old children, phonological processing abilities were grouped into two: one with phonological awareness and phonological memory, the other one with rapid naming.
Discussion & Conclusion: The results of the factor structure of phonological processing between the two age groups indicated that phonological awareness and rapid naming are two different phonological processing abilities. The results, limitations of this study, and directions for future studies were discussed.
