本研究探讨了在不同的输入条件下，对目标致使结构had的注意与工作记忆的储存容量和注意调节功能的关系，以及这些工作记忆能力如何调节目标结构知识的变化。80名斯里兰卡英语学习者在外显和内隐学习条件下接触目标结构的例子，并跟踪他们阅读输入时的眼动。相关和多元回归分析表明，WM能力和增益的知识的目标建设之间有很强的关系。WM分数密切相关的增益在所有输入条件下的接受性知识，但他们有一个较弱的链接到生产性知识的改善内隐学习条件。对输入的注意力也与工作记忆能力密切相关。
Our study investigated how attention paid to a target syntactic construction causative had is related to the storage capacity and attention regulation function of working memory (WM) and how these WM abilities moderate the change of knowledge of the target construction in different input conditions. 80 Sri Lankan learners of English were exposed to examples of the target construction in explicit and implicit learning conditions and their eye movements were tracked as they read the input. Correlational and multiple regression analyses indicated a very strong relationship between WM abilities and gains in the knowledge of the target construction. WM scores were closely associated with gains in receptive knowledge in all input conditions, but they had a weaker link to the improvement of productive knowledge in the implicit learning conditions. The amount of attention paid to input was also strongly related to WM abilities.
