言语工作记忆、句子理解与句法依存关系加工

Verbal Working Memory, Sentence Comprehension, and the Processing of Filler-Gap Dependencies

言语工作记忆在句子理解中作用的机制和性质，是当前认知神经科学研究的一个中心课题。文章首先回顾了与支撑语言理解的工作记忆资源的性质有关的理论争论和实验证据，然后回顾了填充语-空位依存关系加工这一能够揭示言语工作记忆与句子理解之间关系的重要领域，最后简要展望了今后应该进一步研究的几个问题。

One of central issues in current cognitive neuroscience is how the verbal working memory system is used in sentence comprehension. In this article， we first review a debate on the specificity of the resource underlying language comprehension. We then review some critical studies investigating how verbal working memory system is used in the processing of filler-gap dependencies during online sentence comprehension and speculate on the direction of further studies.
