| Abstract |
We demonstrated that there must be enough working memory capacity for Japanese children to correctly comprehend case-markers. Case-markers represent the relationship between the nouns and the predicat...es. To comprehend a sentence correctly, we need to retain and process the information of case-markers (input information, information in processing, and processed information) accurately. In general, these types of information are retained in the working memory, and the accuracy of retention depends on its capacity. We predict that children’s ability to retain the information of case-markers is dependent on their memory capacity, and hypothesize that children with insufficient memory capacity cannot utilize case-markers to interpret a sentence. We conducted a listening span test to assess the working memory capacity, and a picture-selection task to examine sentence comprehension. In the latter test, we used relative clause and cleft sentences to test the comprehension of case-markers. The results show that only children in the high memory span group can comprehend these sentences accurately, and support the claim that there must be sufficient working memory capacity to comprehend case-markers correctly.show more
