The Longitudinal Role of Working Memory on Adult Acquisition of L2 Grammar

Abstract

dc:description

Results from the experiment revealed a lack of significant differences among subjects with low, medium and high WM span, and can be explained along several lines: methodological limitations of the tests (grammar tests and the reading span test); the domain specificity hypothesis; the processing efficiency hypothesis; and the less is more hypothesis.
