Dil Öğrenme Yatkınlığının Tanımlanmasında İşler Bellek ve Açık/Örtük Bilgi Türlerinin Rolü

Öz

Bu çalışmada, denetimli ve bilinçli işlenen açık bilgilerin saklandığı bildirimsel bellek ve farkındalık göstermeden otomatik

olarak işlenen örtük bilgilerin saklandığı yöntemsel bellek türlerinin dil işlevlerini gerçekleştirmedeki katkılarının

incelenmesiyle dil öğrenme yatkınlığının tanımlanması amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırmada bir devlet üniversitesine devam

etmekte olan 72 katılımcıya işler belleği, açık/örtük bilgiyi, dil yatkınlığını ve dil yeterliliğini ölçen testler uygulanmıştır.

Korelasyon analizleri dil testlerinin kendi aralarında anlamlı ilişkiler gösterdiğini ve işler bellek ile dil yatkınlığı arasında

anlamlı ilişkiler olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Temel bileşenler analizinde işler bellek ve dil yatkınlığı aynı faktöre yüklenirken

dil testleri de bir arada tek bir faktöre yüklenmiştir. Çalışmanın sonuçları, ergenlikten sonra formel ortamlarda ikinci dil

öğrenen bir katılımcı grubunda dil öğrenme yatkınlığının işler bellekle ilişkisini ortaya koyarak güncel dil yatkınlık

modellerini desteklemektedir.

Anahtar Kelimeler
