Little is known about how specific components of working memory, namely, attentional processes including response inhibition, sustained attention, and cognitive inhibition, are related to reading decoding and comprehension. The current study evaluated the relations of reading comprehension, decoding, working memory, and attentional control in 1,134 adolescent students. Path analyses were used to assess the direct and indirect effects of working memory and aspects of attentional control on reading comprehension and decoding. There were significant direct effects of working memory, sustained attention, and cognitive inhibition on reading comprehension, but not decoding. There was a significant direct effect of working memory and response inhibition on decoding, but not comprehension. These results suggest that different aspects of attentional control are important for decoding versus comprehension.
关于工作记忆的具体组成部分,即包括反应抑制、持续注意力和认知抑制在内的注意力过程,与阅读解码和理解之间的关系,我们所知甚少。当前的研究评估了1134名青少年学生的阅读理解、解码、工作记忆和注意力控制之间的关系。路径分析被用于评估工作记忆和注意力控制方面对阅读理解和解码的直接和间接影响。工作记忆、持续注意力和认知抑制对阅读理解有显著的直接影响,但对解码没有。工作记忆和反应抑制对解码有显著的直接影响,但对理解没有。这些结果表明,注意力控制的不同方面对解码和理解至关重要。
