20.500.12556/DKUM-42026 VERBAL WORKING MEMORY IN NATIVE AND FOREIGN LANGUAGE VERBALNI DELOVNI SPOMIN V MATERNEM IN TUJEM JEZIKU The main aim of this thesis was to examine verbal working memory in native and foreign language. In the theoretical part we mainly focused on the Baddeley’s (2002) multicomponent model of working memory. We also reviewed several studies that had aims similar to ours. Finally, we briefly discussed the importance of working memory for scholastic attainment and effectiveness of working memory training. For the empirical part, two versions of an experiment were designed. One version was in Slovene and the other in English. We tested verbal working memory of 76 participants which we divided into four groups. Two groups were tested in their native (Slovene) language, and two in foreign (English) language. The experiment consisted of twelve word sequences, each containing five words. English words were matched with their Slovene equivalents in meaning, frequency and number of syllables. The participants had to recall each word in a sequence in order in which it appeared. The groups were matched for age and level of education, but differed in language proficiency. Results of the experiments strongly support the view that verbal working memory interacts with language proficiency and that it is superior in native language. Furthermore, similar phenomena showed in both languages, suggesting universal nature of verbal working memory. Poskušali smo preučiti verbalni delovni spomin v maternem in tujem jeziku. V teoretičnem delu smo izhajali predvsem iz Baddeleyevega (2002) modela delovnega spomina. Analizirali smo številne študije, ki so se ukvarjale s podobnimi vprašanji kot naša raziskava. Na kratko smo razpravljali tudi o pomembnosti delovnega spomina za šolske dosežke in možnostih izboljšanja delovnega spomina z vadbo. V okviru empiričnega dela smo sestavili dve različici preizkusa, tj. v slovenščini in angleščini. Preizkusili smo verbalni delovni spomin 76-ih študentov, ki smo jih razdelili v štiri skupine. Dve skupini sta preizkus opravljali v maternem, tj. slovenskem, dve v tujem, tj. angleškem, jeziku. Preizkus je bil sestavljen iz dvanajst zaporedij, pri čemer je vsako zaporedje vključevalo pet besed. Sestavili smo angleško-slovenske pare besed, ki so se ujemali v pomenu, pogostosti in številu zlogov. Preizkovanci so morali priklicati besede v zaporedju, v katerem so se pojavile. Skupine so se ujemale v starosti in stopnji izobrazbe, vendar razlikovale v stopnji jezikovnega znanja. Rezultati našega preizkusa močno podpirajo hipotezo, da je verbalni delovni spomin povezan s stopnjo jezikovnega znanja, in sicer da se verbalni delovni spomin premo sorazmerno poveča z jezikovnim znanjem. Rezultati tudi potrjujejo hipotezo, da je verbalni delovni spomin boljši v maternem kot tujem jeziku. Nadalje, podobni pojavi so bili prisotni v obeh jezikih, kar kaže na univerzalno naravo verbalnega delovnega spomina. working memory verbal working memory foreign language native language language proficiency delovni spomin verbalni delovni spomin tuji jezik materni jezik jezikovno znanje true true false [D.
