工作记忆中的语音回路与阅读理解的关系

语音回路是Baddeley和Hitch在1974年提出的工作记忆模型中的一个成分。由于语音回路本身的特点，人们联想到它可能和阅读理解这种复杂的认知活动有关系。为此，一些研究者从不同的角度，采用各种研究范式对这一问题进行了探讨。到目前为止，已有的大部分研究都支持语音回路对于阅读理解有作用，但也有少数研究不支持该观点。另外，对于语音回路影响阅读理解的机制问题，也存在着不一致的观点。

Phonological Loop in Working Memory and Its Relation to Reading Comprehension

Phonological Loop is one of the components in Working Memory Model proposed by Baddeley and Hitch in 1974. It is considered to be related to some higher cognitive processes, such as reading comprehension, for its intrinsic characteristics. It has been investigated in different ways. Most of the researches approve that Phonological Loop modulates reading comprehension. But some others do not approve of this view. Moreover, there is disagreement about how Phonological Loop affects reading comprehension.
