研究考察工作记忆与二语阅读理解的多维向关系。结果发现：1)工作记忆的加工和存储成分中，只有加工成分与二语阅读理解显著相关，说明其对二语阅读理解的作用更大；2)二语推断性理解对工作记忆资源的依赖性大于二语字面理解；3)工作记忆与二语阅读理解的关系也受学习者二语词汇宽度水平的影响，二语词汇宽度水平低的学习者对工作记忆资源的依赖性更强。研究揭示了工作记忆与长时记忆在二语阅读理解中的交互性。

This study examines the multidimensional relationship between working memory and second language reading comprehension. The results show the distinctive roles of the processing and storage components of working memory in second language reading comprehension with only the processing component being significantly correlated with second language reading comprehension suggesting its crucial role in the close relationship between working memory and second language reading comprehension. The results also reveal the differential effects of working memory on inferential comprehension and literal comprehension with only inferential comprehension being directly influenced by working memory due to its internal complexity. The data also indicate the influence of second language vocabulary knowledge on the relationship between working memory and second language reading comprehension. The participants with a smaller vocabulary size depend more on their working memory. The results indicate the interaction between working memory and long-term memory in second language reading comprehension.
