摘要:Making sense of texts from a cognitive-processing perspective involves several mental operations connecting conceptual and procedural knowledge (Gagné et al., 1993). In this regard, the reader’s ability to articulate several processes simultaneously, involving information processing and comprehension monitoring, is crucial to the construction of the mental representation of texts. Thus, this bibliographical review intends to establish theoretical relationships among reading processing, as sustained by working memory (WM) and influenced by working memory capacity (WMC), metacognition and the componential processes inherent to FL reading comprehension. The implications of the findings point to the relation of metacognition developing according to WM maturation and having an impact on reading comprehension. Therefore, as reading in a foreign language involves more complex activities and the activity per se also involves and depends upon several other variables, it is reasonable to assert that this complex activity is affected by the limitations of WM..
