本研究试图将语音记忆和单词习得之间的关系扩展到第二语言词汇的实验学习中。非单词跨度被用来测量语音记忆，并且被发现通常可以预测一组香港七年级学生获得某些英语（第二语言）新单词所需的尝试次数。然而，这种关系仅在那些英语词汇量低于群体中位数的人中得以保留。结论是，语音记忆在第二语言单词学习中发挥着重要作用，其效果与学习者对该语言的长期知识相互作用。
This study attempts to extend the relationship between phonological memory and word acquisition to the experimental learning of second-language vocabulary. Nonword span was used to measure phonological memory and was found to be generally predictive of the number of trials needed for acquiring certain English (second-language) new words for a group of Hong Kong 7th graders. This relationship, however, was preserved only in those whose English vocabulary size was below the group median. It was concluded that phonological memory plays a part in second-language word learning, and its effect interacts with the learner's long-term knowledge in that language.
