Short-term Working Memory and Chunking in SLA
نویسنده
چکیده
After elaborating the definition of working memory, the relationship between short-term memory and working memory, chunking in SLA and the relationship between short-term memory and chunking, this paper proves the importance of chunking through the experiment: the students’ capacity in fast reading, reading in depth, listening and cloze from experimental group was affected by vocabulary depth through learning the theory of chunking and states how to apply chunking to second language acquisition.

Morphology and Longer Distance Dependencies
This paper illustrates the advantages of laboratory research into SLA by describing two studies of acquisition of second language syntax. The first addresses the question of whether human morphological abilities can be understood in terms of associative processes or whether it is necessary to postulate rule-based symbol processing systems underlying these skills. We demonstrate that acquisition...
متن کاملChunking in Working Memory and its Relationship to Intelligence
Short-term memory and working memory are two distinct concepts that have been measured in simple and complex span tasks respectively. A new span task was designed to manipulate a chunking factor while using a procedure similar to simple span tasks. This span task allowed studying the interaction between storage and processing in working memory, when processing is fully dedicated to optimizing s...
متن کاملThe relationship between working memory and L2 reading comprehension
Since an important role for working memory has been found in the first language acquisition (e.g., Daneman, 1991; Daneman & Green, 1986; Waters & Caplan, 1996), research on the role of working memory is emerging as an area of concern for second language acquisition (e.g., Atkins & Baddeley, 1998; Miyake & Freidman, 1998; Robinson, 1995, 2002, ...
متن کاملWorking memory predicts sequence chunking Visuospatial working memory capacity predicts the organization of acquired explicit motor sequences
Studies have suggested that cognitive processes such as working memory and temporal control contribute to motor sequence learning (cf. Ashe et al., 2006). These processes engage overlapping brain regions with sequence learning, but concrete evidence has been lacking. In the current study, we determined whether limits in visuospatial working memory capacity and temporal control abilities affect ...
متن کاملThe spatial learning and memory performance in methamphetamine–sensitized and withdrawn rats
Objective(s): There is controversial evidence about the effect of methamphetamine (METH) on spatial memory. We tested the time- dependent effects of METH on spatial short-term (working) and long-term (reference) memory in METH –sensitized and withdrawn rats in the Morris water maze. Materials and Methods: Rats were sensitized to METH (2 mg/kg, daily/5 days, SC). Rats were trained in water maze ...
