Abstract

This chapter presents how working memory influences vocabulary learning and retention. First, it critically reviews the literature on working memory. To provide the grounding for detailed discussion, the definition, components, and processes working memory are presented. Different models of working memory in the current literature are discussed with implications for vocabulary teaching and learning. Second, the impacts of working memory, as an individual learner variable, on second language vocabulary acquisition and development are discussed. Relevant proposals and studies are reviewed to demonstrate how different components of working memory affect vocabulary learning, including processes, outcomes, and retention. To conclude, the authors discuss implications for second language vocabulary teaching and learning and suggest directions for further studies.
