Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to examine whether individual differences of the working memory capacity affect the Japanese learners' reading ability in Japanese. The working memory is the function in the brain which process and memorize information at the same time. In the previous studies, correlation between working memory capacity measured by reading span task and reading ability are shown in the L1 reading. However, the weak correlation was shown between working memory capacity and L2 Japanese reading ability in this study.
