Bilingual Memory: L1 Mediation inL2 False Memory

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The study aims to investigate Korean L2 learners’ bilingual memory in order to trace L1 mediation in L2 veridical and false memory. Sixty six university students participated in the free recall and recognition tests which adopted and revised the DRM (Deese-Roediger-McDermott) paradigm. The findings from independent t-tests and Pearson correlation coefficient suggest first, their bilingual memory is shaped by concept mediation with the imbalance between L1 and L2 according to their L2 proficiency. The veridical memory of the English words whose translation equivalents are synonymous in L1 was more detected than that of synonymous L2 words. Second, English words whose L1 translation equivalents collocate in L1 were falsely recalled. Third, the L1 mediation decreased as their L2 proficiency increased. Since the highly proficient L2 learners have a more developed and resourceful L2 network, false memory arising from L2 collocational knowledge also emerged. Accordingly, the high L2 proficiency contributed to narrowing the gap between the memory benefited from L1 and L2 lexicon. The study further suggests the importance of L2-promoting instruction within the Revised Hierarchical Model.
