在2项研究中，作者采用心理测量学和实验技术相结合的方法，探讨了一般领域和特定领域工作记忆因素对模糊关系从句附加的离线决策的影响。这两项研究分别使用英语和荷兰语刺激呈现给英语和荷兰语的参与者。在研究1中，工作记忆广度低的读者比工作记忆广度高的读者更不可能使用近因策略来消除歧义。这一发现与基于地点和资源的依恋账户的预测不一致。心理测量学分析表明，特定领域（言语）和一般领域的工作记忆占的效果。研究2支持了这一假设，即在无声阅读过程中施加的分割策略可以解释违反直觉的关系。结果表明，低跨度的读者有更大的倾向，打破大段的文本，因为他们有限的工作记忆，导致高附件的歧义关系从句。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2016阿帕，保留所有权利）
In 2 studies, the authors used a combination of psychometric and experimental techniques to investigate the effects of domain-general and domain-specific working memory factors on offline decisions concerning attachment of an ambiguous relative clause. Both studies used English and Dutch stimuli presented to English-and Dutch-speaking participants, respectively. In Study 1, readers with low working memory spans were less likely to use recency strategies for disambiguation than were readers with high spans. This finding is inconsistent with predictions of locality-and resource-based accounts of attachment. Psychometric analyses showed that both domain-specific (verbal) and domain-general working memory accounted for the effect. Study 2 found support for the hypothesis that segmentation strategies imposed during silent reading can account for the counterintuitive relationship. Results suggest that readers with low spans have a greater tendency to break up large segments of text because of their limited working memory, leading to high attachment of the ambiguous relative clause.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
