近五年工作记忆与阅读研究综述

A Review of Recent-five-year Studies on Working Memory and Reading

综述了近五年来国内外工作记忆与阅读的相关研究,梳理了工作记忆广度测试的分类和方法。近五年的研究表明,工作记忆与阅读理解能力存在显著的正相关,高工作记忆容量的个体无论在字面意思理解方面还是在推理理解方面都强于低容量者。关于资源分享模型和任务转换假设,有些研究者做了实证研究,但仍有待进一步证实。

This is a review of recent-five-year studies on working memory and reading comprehension.Categories and methods of RST are also reviewed.The general findings of recent researches show that working memory is significantly correlated with reading comprehension ability.Learners with high working memory span outperform those with lower working memory span in both literal and inferential dimensions of understanding.Several experimental studies have been done to justify the resource sharing model and task switching hypothesis,but more future researches are needed to clarify the dispute.
