Phonologisches Arbeitsgedächtnis, Wortschatz und morpho-syntaktische Sprachleistungen im Vorschulalter

Published Online:June 01, 2000https://doi.org/10.1024//0253-4533.19.12.15

Abstract

Zusammenfassung: Bei 101 dreieinhalb-, vier- und fünfjährigen Kindern wurden der aktive Objektwortschatz, die morpho-syntaktischen Fähigkeiten sowie die funktionale Kapazität des phonologischen Arbeitsgedächtnisses erfasst. Substantielle korrelative Zusammenhänge zwischen den erhobenen Sprachmaßen und der Arbeitsgedächtniskapazität fanden sich bei den vier- und fünfjährigen Kindern. Die Altersdifferenzen im Wortschatz und in den morpho-syntaktischen Fähigkeiten blieben auch nach Auspartialisierung der Arbeitsgedächtniskapazität bedeutsam, während sich die Altersdifferenz für die funktionale Kapazität des phonologischen Arbeitsgedächtnisses bei Berücksichtigung der morpho-syntaktischen Fähigkeiten eliminieren ließ. Die Befunde werden im Hinblick auf die Bedeutung des phonologischen Arbeitsgedächtnisses für die Entwicklung verschiedener Sprachkomponenten diskutiert.


Phonological working-memory, productive vocabulary knowledge, and morpho-syntactical language skills among preschool children

Summary: In a study with 101 children aged 3;6 to 5;11 years productive vocabulary knowledge, morpho-syntactical language skills, and the functional capacity of phonological working memory were assessed. Substantial correlational relationships were found between working memory capacity and the language facets among the 4-years-old as well as the 5-years-old children. Age differences in productive language skills remained significant even when working memory capacity was partialized out. On the contrary, age differences in phonological working memory capacity were eliminated when morpho-syntactical language skills were controled for. The results are discussed with regard to the role of working memory in language development.
