집행기능, 작업기억 그리고 통계적 학습 능력이 한국어 모어 독자의 관형절 중의성 해소에 미치는 영향 = The effects of individual differences in executive function, working memory, and statistical learning abilities on the resolution of syntactic ambiguity in Korean relative clauses

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study investigates the role of executive functions, working memory, and statistical learning abilities in the resolution of temporary syntactic ambiguity, and the contribution of syntactic complexity to the resolution of temporary syntactic ambiguity of readers of varied cognitive abilities. Data were collected from 48 native Korean adults who completed a self-paced garden-path reading task and a battery of cognitive tasks. Participants with lower attention shifting ability, lower nonadjacent dependency learning ability, and higher inhibition ability showed a greater tendency to spend more time in revising their initial interpretation only when reading relative clauses in the conditions requiring a higher cost of reanalysis. These findings suggest that the following abilities fulfill an important role in syntactic ambiguity resolution when individuals read Korean garden-path sentences: the abilities (1) to inhibit activation of unnecessary information, (2) to shift one’s focus of attention between alternative sentence representations, and (3) to learn relationships between nonadjacent dependencies ignoring intervening elements.
