This study aimed to explore the effects of working memory updating training on primary school students' writing ability and performance.
A total of 46 fourth-grade Chinese primary school students were recruited; their performance in the Chinese character N-back training task, the Writing Ability Questionnaire, and a time-limited writing task was assessed.
The paired-sample -test revealed that working memory updating training significantly improved the experimental group's working memory level. After training, a repeated measures ANOVA revealed that the experimental group's performance on the Writing Ability Questionnaire improved and was higher than that of the control group. In the time-limited writing task, independent-sample -tests revealed that the experimental group's writing fluency increased and was higher than that of the control group, while the latter's grammatical accuracy and complexity decreased and were lower than those of the former.
Working memory updating training can be used as auxiliary cognitive training to improve primary school students' working memory level, thereby promoting their writing development.
本研究旨在探讨工作记忆更新训练对小学生写作能力和表现的影响。
共招募了46名中国小学四年级学生;评估了他们在汉字n-back训练任务、写作能力问卷和限时写作任务中的表现。
配对样本检验显示,工作记忆更新训练显著提高了实验组的工作记忆水平。训练后,重复测量方差分析显示,实验组在写作能力问卷上的表现有所提高,且高于对照组。在限时写作任务中,独立样本检验显示,实验组的写作流畅性提高且高于对照组,而对照组的语法准确性和复杂性下降且低于实验组。
工作记忆更新训练可作为辅助认知训练,以提高小学生的工作记忆水平,从而促进他们的写作发展。
