摘　　要：本研究探讨了我国大学生工作记忆容量与英语阅读理解之间的多重关系。研究发现:(1)工作记忆容量及其分项(加工和存储成分)与阅读理解及其不同层次(词汇、微观结构与宏观结构理解)之间均呈显著相关;(2)工作记忆中的加工成分能够预测阅读理解成绩,存储成分则未显示预测力;(3)相比语篇其他层次,工作记忆加工成分与宏观结构理解成绩的相关性及对后者的预测力均最强。研究结果反映了工作记忆容量,尤其是其中的加工成分,在英语语篇阅读较高层级的宏观结构理解中的重要作用。This study aims to examine the relationship between working memory eapacity,along with is processing and storage elements,and different levels of EFL reading comprehension among Chinese college students.Results from a reading span lask,a reading comprehension test and a retrospective interview demonstrate that:(1)W orking memory and its sub-elements are signifieantly correlated with diferent levels of reading comprehension;(2)The processing element of working memory can significantly predict reading comprehension,while the storage element shows no such predictive power;(3)The processing element of working memory has stronger correlation with and predictive power for macro-level comprehension,compared with micro-level comprehension and lexical comprehension.The findings reveal the important role that working menory eapacity,especially its processing elemenl,plays in macro-level comprehension.
