Abstract

Abstract This paper reports the findings of a study that investigated the relationship between phonological short-term memory (PSTM), working memory capacity (WMC), and the level of mastery of L2 grammar. Grammatical mastery was operationalized as the ability to produce and comprehend English passive voice with reference to explicit and implicit (or highly automatized) knowledge. Correlational analysis showed that PSTM was related to implicit productive knowledge while WMC was linked to explicit productive knowledge. However, regression analysis showed that those relationships were weak and mediated by overall mastery of target language grammar, operationalized as final grades in a grammar course.

工作记忆对英语语法外显和内隐知识的调节作用

摘要本文报道了一项研究的结果，该研究调查了语音短期记忆（PSTM）、工作记忆能力（WMC）和二语语法掌握水平之间的关系。语法掌握是指根据显性和隐性（或高度自动化）知识产生和理解英语被动语态的能力。相关分析表明，PSTM与内隐生产知识相关，而WMC与外显生产知识相关。然而，回归分析表明，这些关系很弱，是由对目标语言语法的总体掌握所介导的，在语法课程中作为最终成绩来操作。

期刊介绍： The Annual Review of Applied Linguistics publishes research on key topics in the broad field of applied linguistics. Each issue is thematic, providing a variety of perspectives on the topic through research summaries, critical overviews, position papers and empirical studies. Being responsive to the field, some issues are tied to the theme of that year''s annual conference of the American Association for Applied Linguistics. Also, at regular intervals an issue will take the approach of covering applied linguistics as a field more broadly, including coverage of critical or controversial topics. ARAL provides cutting-edge and timely articles on a wide number of areas, including language learning and pedagogy, second language acquisition, sociolinguistics, language policy and planning, language assessment, and research design and methodology, to name just a few.
