Title: The role of working memory in children’s ability for prosodic discrimination Authors: Stepanov, Arthur (Author) Kodrič, Karmen Brina (Author) Stateva, Penka (Author) Files:  journal.pone.0229857.pdf (1,13 MB)   Language: English Work type: Not categorized (r6) Tipology: 1.01 - Original Scientific Article Organization: UNG - University of Nova Gorica Abstract: Previous research established that young children are sensitive to prosodic cues discriminating between syntactic structures of otherwise similarly sounding sentences in a language unknown to them. In this study, we explore the role of working memory that children might deploy for the purpose of the sentence-level prosodic discrimination. Nine-year old Slovenian monolingual and bilingual children (N = 70) were tested on a same-different prosodic discrimination task in a language unknown to them (French) and on the working memory measures in the form of forward and backward digit span and non-word repetition tasks. The results suggest that both the storage and processing components of the working memory are involved in the prosodic discrimination task.
