Abstract:

Bringing together cutting-edge research, this Handbook is the first
comprehensive text to examine the pivotal role of working memory in first and
second language acquisition, processing, impairments, and training. Authored
by a stellar cast of distinguished scholars from around the world, the
Handbook provides authoritative insights on work from diverse,
multi-disciplinary perspectives, and introduces key models of working memory
in relation to language. Following an introductory chapter by working memory
pioneer Alan Baddeley, the collection is organized into thematic sections that
discuss working memory in relation to: Theoretical models and measures;
Linguistic theories and frameworks; First language processing; Bilingual
acquisition and processing; and Language disorders, interventions, and
instruction. The Handbook is sure to interest and benefit researchers,
clinicians, speech therapists, and advanced undergraduate and postgraduate
students in linguistics, psychology, education, speech therapy, cognitive
science, and neuroscience, or anyone seeking to learn more about language,
cognition and the human mind.

Introduction: 2. Working memory and the challenge of language; Part II.
Theoretical Models and Measures: 3. The evolution of working memory and
language; 4. The phonological loop as a 'language learning device': an update;
5. The Embedded-Processes Model and language use; 6. Long-term working memory
and language comprehension; 7. The cognitive neuroscience of working memory
and language; 8. Computational models of working memory for language; 9. The
time-based resource sharing model of working memory for language; 10. The Ease

Measuring individual differences in working memory capacity and attention
control and their contribution to language comprehension; Part III. Linguistic
Theories and Frameworks: 13. Have grammars been shaped by working memory and
if so, how?; 14. Branching and working memory: a cross-linguistic approach;
15. Working memory and natural syntax; 16. The role of working memory in
shaping syntactic dependency structures; 17. Working memory in the Modular
Cognition Framework; 18. Short-term and working memory capacity and the

in language comprehension and production: evidence from neuropsychology; 21.
Working memory and high-level text comprehension processes; 22. Working memory
and speech planning; 23. How do novice and skilled writers engage working
memory?; Part V. Bilingual Acquisition and Processing: 24. How measures of
working memory relate to L2 vocabulary; 25. Working memory and L2 grammar
development in children; 26. Working memory and L2 grammar learning among
adults; 27. Working memory and L2 sentence processing; 28. Methodological
issues in research on working memory and L2 reading comprehension; 29. Working
memory and second language speaking tasks; 30. Working memory in second
language interaction; 31. Working memory and interpreting studies; 32. A
methodological synthesis of working memory tasks in L2 research; Part VI.

disorders as a working memory deficit; 34. A new perspective on the connection
between memory and sentence comprehension in children with developmental
language disorder; 35. Working memory and childhood deafness; 36. Working
memory training in the classroom; 37. Working memory and classroom learning;
38. Cognitive load theory and instructional design for language learning; 39.
