Abstract

This study was conducted in order to investigate the role of working memory in word recognition. As a preliminary step in tackling this topic, word frequency and working memory load were manipulated in a naming task. The results showed that word frequency is significantly involved with the working memory load. The effects of working memory load were greater in low-frequency word processing than in high-frequency word processing. These results indicat that working memory is involved more in the processing of low-frequency words. The implications for the teaching of children at the early reading acquisition stage are discussed in this paper.

본 연구는 단어 재인에서 작업 기억의 역할을 규명하기 위하여 진행되었다. 단어 재인에서의 작업 기억 역할 규명을 위하여 단어 빈도와 직업 기억 부담을 조절한 명명 과제 실험을 실시하였다. 실험 결과 단어 빈도는 작업 기억 부담에 영향을 받는 것으로 분석되었다. 작업 기억의 부담은 고빈도 단어 재인에서보다 저빈도 단어 재인에서 더 높은 영향을 미쳤다. 이러한 결과는 작업 기억이 저빈도 단어 재인에서 더 많은 영향을 갖음을 시사하는 것이다.
