How Is Working Memory Related to Reading Comprehension in Italian Monolingual and Bilingual Children?

Abstract: This study explored how working memory resources contributed to reading comprehension using tasks that focused on maintenance of verbal information in the phonological store, the interaction between the central executive and the phonological store (WMI), and the storage of bound semantic content in the episodic buffer (immediate narrative memory). We analysed how performance in these tasks was related to text decoding (reading speed and accuracy), listening and reading comprehension. The participants were 62 m… Show more

“…Orsolini et al produced similar results in their recent study [ 29 ] investigating reading comprehension in monolingual and bilingual children. Monolingual children’s comprehension of an oral text was strongly associated with working memory, while bilingual children showed no indirect working memory effect on reading comprehension [ 29 ].…”

“…Orsolini et al produced similar results in their recent study [ 29 ] investigating reading comprehension in monolingual and bilingual children. Monolingual children’s comprehension of an oral text was strongly associated with working memory, while bilingual children showed no indirect working memory effect on reading comprehension [ 29 ]. As executive attention has historically been closely linked to working memory, this result raises questions about the assumption that multilingualism improves executive attention and that learning a second language expands working memory capacity [ 56 , 57 ].…”

“…Отмечается, что ингибирующий контроль не является преимуществом билингвов Park et al, 2019) и даже становится билингвальной трудностью (Johann et al, 2022;. В свою очередь, задействованная в ходе решения задач рабочая память не получает значимых различий в языковых группах (Orsolini et al, 2022). Выявленные факты внесли сомнения по поводу билингвального преимущества (Antoniou, 2023), что усилило необходимость в построении единой логики и структуры дальнейших трансдисциплинарных лабораторных исследований с научно обоснованными гипотезами для получения достоверных результатов в разных полилингвальных контекстах (Khotinets & Medvedeva, 2019).…”
