词汇知识、工作记忆与二语阅读理解的关联性研究

发布时间:2023-04-25 05:27
  近期的阅读理解研究多基于阅读理解多成份观理论视域。根据该理论,阅读是一种包含多种认知和语言技能成分的复杂认知过程。阅读理解过程的解读不仅需要探究各个阅读能力成份的单独作用,还需要了解其互动机制。本研究聚焦于词汇知识和工作记忆这两个重要的阅读能力成份,考察它们对中国成人英语学习者阅读理解能力的单独作用及其交互性影响。本研究的选题主要基于如下三个方面的原因。第一,国内外同类研究多聚焦于词汇知识或者工作记忆对阅读理解的单独贡献,同时包含两个变量且对其单独和交互性作用进行综合性考察的多维度研究尚不多见。第二,虽然国内外有关词汇知识和阅读理解关系的研究较为丰富,然而由于词汇知识的多维性特性,其与阅读理解的关联本质仍需进一步探究。其一,关于词汇知识深度在阅读理解中的作用,已有研究结论不尽一致;其二,已有研究多聚焦于词汇知识的陈述性范畴,即词汇知识的宽度和深度,而对于词汇知识的程序性范畴,即词汇知识的流利度(词汇知识的提取速度)鲜有关注。第三,二语阅读研究中,关于工作记忆和阅读理解关系的研究数量不多,且存在一定的局限性。多数研究要么将阅读理解表征为一个整体构念,忽略其层级性本质特征,要么仅考察工作记...
