Resumo: This study had two aims: (1) investigating the impact of increasing the reasoning demands of a monologic narrative task on the oral performance of Chinese learners of Portuguese as a foreign language (PFL) and (2) testing the Simplify Stabilize Automatize Restructure Complexify (SSARC) Model of the Cognition Hypothesis (Robinson, 2010, 2011, 2015). 52 university learners of PFL participated in this research. Two comparisons were made: (1) the first one within subjects where two tasks (simple vs. complex) were performed on two conditions (simple-complex sequence/complex-simple sequence) and (2) the second one among subjects where two tasks were performed vs. the individual performance of a task (simple or complex task).  Measures of linguistic complexity, accuracy, and fluency were used to quantify learners’ oral production. Robinson’s Cognition Hypothesis has been partially confirmed, as results showed that task complexity positively affected accuracy, lexical diversity, and the amount of coordinate clauses, but with a negative effect on clause length. Task sequencing had a positive impact on accuracy.

Neste trabalho, participaram 52 aprendizes universitários de Português como Língua Estrangeira (PLE). Foram feitas duas comparações: (1) uma intrassujeitos, que implicou o desempenho de duas tarefas (simples e complexa) em duas condições (sequenciação simples-complexa/sequenciação complexa-simples) e (2) intersujeitos, que pressupôs a realização das duas tarefas na sequenciação simples-complexa vs. o desempenho individual de uma das tarefas (tarefa simples ou tarefa complexa). Foram usadas medidas de complexidade linguística, correção e fluência para quantificar a produção oral. A Hipótese da Cognição foi parcialmente confirmada, uma vez que os resultados demonstraram que o aumento da complexidade cognitiva da tarefa afetou positivamente a correção, a diversidade lexical e a produção de orações coordenadas, mas com efeito negativo no tamanho das orações. O desempenho de tarefas na sequenciação simples-complexa teve um impacto positivo na correção.SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2022-12-23info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/529410.1590/1678-460x202256813porhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/5294/10234Copyright (c) 2022 Sara Santoshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSantos, Sarareponame:SciELO Preprintsinstname:SciELOinstacron:SCI2022-12-22T20:52:06Zoai:ops.preprints.scielo.org:preprint/5294Servidor de preprintshttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scieloONGhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/oaiscielo.submission@scielo.orgopendoar:2022-12-22T20:52:06SciELO Preprints - SciELOfalse
