In a reading span test (RST), participants are asked to read sets of sentences, report on the semantic acceptability of each sentence (processing assessment), and then recall the final word of each sentence when prompted (storage assessment).
Test procedure After the initial form of the RST was developed, three pilot studies were administered to three groups of L1 Persian EFL learners.
Then the newly developed test was used in an experimental study for the measurement of working memory capacity.
Conclusion This study described developing an L1 Persian reading span test for the measurement of L1 Persian EFL learners’ working memory capacity.
As the internal reliability of this measure was quite high, the test can be used to measure working memory capacity in future second language learning studies.
