| Research Abstract |
The objective of the project was to demonstrate the causal relationship between children’s development of working memory capacity and language comprehension. To accomplish this objective, we conducted a longitudinal study to Japanese monolingual children from 4 to 6. From this study, we have achieved that although children’s development of working memory capacity is relatively slow, only few children who increased working memory capacity exhibit high score in the sentence comprehension task. Though the result was limited to a small group of children, we succeeded in demonstrating the relationship between working memory capacity and language comprehension development.
