摘要：

The nonword repetition test has been regularly used to examine children's vocabulary acquisition, and yet there is no clear explanation of all of the effects seen in nonword repetition. This paper presents a study of 5-6 year-old children's repetition performance on three nonword repetition tests that vary in the degree of their lexicality. A model of children's vocabulary acquisition is then presented that captures the children's performance in all three repetition tests. The model represents a clear explanation of how working memory and long-term lexical and sub-lexical knowledge interact in a way that is able to simulate repetition performance across three nonword tests within the same model and without requiring test specific parameter settings.
