Lehman, Elyse B.; Brady, Kathleen McC. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1982
Both good and poor readers stored information indicating whether a word was heard or seen and information concerning a word's category membership. (Author)

Webster, Raymond E. – Journal of Special Education, 1980
A significant two-way input modality by output modality interaction suggested that short term memory capacity among the groups differed as a function of the modality used to present the items in combination with the output response required. (Author/CL)

Riding, R. J.; Tempest, J. – Educational Psychology, 1986
Seventy-two 11-year-old students were tested on 32 dictated words containing two levels of both visual and phonemic complexity. Students were grouped within sexes on their extraversion scores on the Junior Eysenck Personality Inventory and quotients on the Raven's Matrices. Spelling performance was found to interact significantly with level of…

Schwendinger, James Rea – 1976
A sample of 503 sixth-grade students participated in a study assessing the relationship between modality of inference and spelling achievement. Each student completed the Dictation Spelling Test and the Modality of Inference Instrument; scores from the Iowa Test of Basic Skills were also available. The Modality of Inference Instrument was…

Banker, Gail S.; Meringoff, Laurene – 1982
Sixty fifth grade students participated in a study that investigated how children learn from a nonverbal film. The students were randomly assigned to one of four conditions where they were presented individually with (1) a film story, (2) a silent version of the film, (3) a descriptive audio version of the film's content, or (4) the same story…

Maher, John H., Jr.; Sullivan, Howard – Educational Communication and Technology: A Journal of Theory, Research, and Development, 1982
In two studies, sixth graders (Study 1) and fourth graders (Study 2) listened to or read a text. Some students were asked to imagine pictures of the material. Oral presentation of the material produced better results than written-only forms. Fourth graders benefited more from mental imagery than did sixth graders. (Author/JJD)

Bell, Michael L.; Roubinek, Darrell L. – Reading Improvement, 1989
Compares fourth-graders' subtest scores on the Stanford Achievement Test (SAT), the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS), and the Metropolitan Achievement Test (MAT). Finds right-brain dominant students scored better on four SAT subtests, and left-brain dominant students scored better on four ITBS subtests and two MAT subtests. (NH)

March, Lester William – 1973
This study was designed to explore learning behavior of children following four specific preconditioning experiences: sensory deprivation, sensory bombardment, routine worksheet exercises, and a sensory awareness game. The study occurred in three parts: preconditioning of the subjects, teaching of a language skill, and performance of a task…

Torgesen, Joseph K.; And Others – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1978
Fourth-grade good and poor readers were given six different digit span tasks in which task structure (simultaneous vs sequential presentation of digits) and modality of presentation (visual vs auditory) were varied. Task structure was more powerful in predicting test performance than was modality of presentation. (Author/BH)

Nugent, Gwen C. – Educational Communication and Technology: A Journal of Theory, Research, and Development, 1982
Studies whether presentations by an iconic system (pictures) or a linguistic system (print or audio) aid learning. Tests given fourth-to-sixth graders showed alternation between systems, using each to assimilate information. Learning was not as effective when content differed between the systems and this information was presented simultaneously…

Kearney, Christopher; Drabman, Ronald S. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1993
Seven students (ages 10-13) with learning disabilities were introduced to the write-say method, which provides immediate visual and auditory feedback following the administration of a daily spelling test. Compared to studying words on one's own, the write-say method significantly enhanced subjects' spelling accuracy in a brief period of time.…

Oakland, Thomas; Banner, Diane; Livingston, Rita – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2000
A study investigated the learning style preferences of 214 students (ages 10-17) with visual impairments and their sighted peers. Students with visual impairments more frequently preferred practical, thinking, or organized styles. Boys with visual impairments tended to prefer extroverted styles and girls with visual impairments tended to prefer…

Jordan, Lois E. – 1993
This paper explores the research of the learning styles manifested in the middle school classroom and the implications those differences have to a successful teaching-learning paradigm. Various projects in the field are examined, including how students are profiled, how instructional methods can be modified to suit the needs of each learner, and…

Mickel, Vesta L. – 1990
A study was designed to test the following experimental alternative hypotheses: (1) that the correlation between listening and reading scores would be negative, or (2) that the correlation would be positive. The study also focused on determining which of the two principal teaching modalities, aural and visual, was the more effective in promoting…

McCoy, Leah P. – 1989
Two groups of elementary school students were tested and compared on learning style perceptual preference. One group was comprised of 11 students identified as being in need of remedial instruction in mathematics. The other group consisted of eight average/above average students experiencing slight or no difficulties in mathematics. Grade levels…
