Abstract

The purpose of the following study was to determine if quick and accurate learning can be accomplished by combining visual and auditory modalities amongst a group of participants. By using different modalities, the researcher aimed to demonstrate that helpful and effective learning study strategies can be generated. Thus such techniques involved the use of more than one sensory channel to impart learning. It was noted that the strategies could be very effective when a student had to learn words or paragraphs containing difficult words. Finally, the researcher wanted to determine whether the participants who were exposed to more than one learning modality performed better than those who were just exposed to one? Significant differences between the three groups of participants were found at the completion of the study. It was noted that the participants in the visual group depicted a mean of 14.2667 and a standard deviation of 4.51136; those in the auditory group depicted a mean of 14.0667 and a standard deviation of 3.12745; lastly those in the visual and auditory group depicted a mean of 16.0667 and a standard deviation of 2.43389. The implications of the study thus, revealed a significance level >.05.
