Abstract

ABSTRACT The present study examined the relationship between working memory capacity (WMC) and comprehension on a multiple text assessment from the ACT test for college preparedness in which texts are available during question answering. Specifically, it was of interest whether differences in relations would be seen across different question types. Only performance on the inference questions was uniquely related to WMC whereas performance on textbase and across-text questions was not. Results suggest that WMC still plays a role in comprehension even when texts are available, and the role of WMC seems to be most strongly tied to integration demands.

工作记忆能力作为多语篇理解的预测因子

摘要本研究通过ACT大学备考测试，考察了工作记忆能力（WMC）与理解能力之间的关系。具体来说，是否会在不同的问题类型中看到关系的差异是令人感兴趣的。只有推理问题的表现与WMC唯一相关，而文本库和跨文本问题的表现则不然。研究结果表明，即使文本可用，WMC仍然在理解中发挥作用，而且WMC的作用似乎与整合需求联系最紧密。

期刊介绍： Discourse Processes is a multidisciplinary journal providing a forum for cross-fertilization of ideas from diverse disciplines sharing a common interest in discourse--prose comprehension and recall, dialogue analysis, text grammar construction, computer simulation of natural language, cross-cultural comparisons of communicative competence, or related topics. The problems posed by multisentence contexts and the methods required to investigate them, although not always unique to discourse, are sufficiently distinct so as to require an organized mode of scientific interaction made possible through the journal.
