The aim of this study was to investigate the functional organisation of working memory and related cognitive abilities in young children. A sample of 633 children aged between 4 and 6 years were tested on measures of verbal short-term memory, complex memory span, sentence repetition, phonological awareness, and nonverbal ability. The measurement model that provided the best fit of the data incorporates constructs that correspond to the central executive, phonological loop, and episodic buffer subcomponents of working memory, plus distinct but associated constructs associated with phonological awareness and nonverbal ability.
本研究的目的是调查幼儿工作记忆的功能组织以及相关认知能力。对633名年龄在4至6岁之间的儿童进行了言语短期记忆、复杂记忆广度、句子复述、语音意识和非言语能力的测试。最能拟合数据的测量模型纳入了与工作记忆的中央执行系统、语音回路和情景缓冲子成分相对应的结构,以及与语音意识和非言语能力相关的独特但相关的结构。
