| Popis: | 102 Based on Baddeley and Hitch’s(1974) three-component model of working memory, this study investigated the relations between working memory and addition operation abilities in preschoolers. Fifty-two 4-and 5-years old were assessed working memory by Word List Matching, Counting Span and Odd-One-Out. They were also asked to complete two types of addition problems. The results showed that there were positive relations between phonological loop (PL), visuospatial sketchpad (VSSP), central executive (CE) and the composite of working memory. There was also a positive relation between VSSP and CE. But the relations between PL and VSSP, CE were not significant. Secondly, the results indicated a moderate positive relation between the composite of working memory and addition operation abilities. CE and VSSP were positively related to preschooler’s performance on nonverbal addition problems, and CE was also positively related to preschoolers’ performance on verbal addition problems. Finally, there were no relations between the three components of working memory and preschoolers’choice of addition operation strategies. |
