Altering the Modality of Instructions to Facilitate Imagination: Interactions between the Modality and Imagination Effects
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Tindall-Ford, Sharon; Sweller, John – Instructional Science: An International Journal of Learning and Cognition, 2006
Under some conditions, learning is improved by using a dual mode presentation involving for example, visual diagrams and auditory, rather than written text (modality effect). Under other conditions, learning is improved by asking learners to imagine rather than study instructional material (imagination effect). Both effects have been explained…

The Effect of the Tactile Modality on Retention of Sight Vocabulary.
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Kurywczak, Jennifer – 1997
A study examined whether retention of sight vocabulary words could be increased by implementing the tactile modality to a visual, auditory, and kinesthetic based lesson. A total of 10 first-grade remedial reading students in Elizabeth, New Jersey, were assigned to control and experimental groups, with 5 students in each group. Upon completion of 7…

Matching Teaching and Learning Styles.
Caudill, Gil – Technology Connection, 1998
Outlines three basic learning modalities--auditory, visual, and tactile--and notes that technology can help incorporate multiple modalities within each lesson, to meet the needs of most students. Discusses the importance in multiple modality teaching of effectively assessing students. Presents visual, auditory and tactile activity suggestions.…

One of a Kind: A Practical Guide to Learning Styles K-6.
Oklahoma State Dept. of Education, Oklahoma City. – 1983
This guidebook is based on research on the human brain and the way it processes information. It is noted that research on the learning process has studied the differing functions of the left and right hemispheres of the brain. This research supports the theory that students are inclined to learn through different modalities (tactual/kinesthetic,…

One of a Kind: A Practical Guide to Learning Styles 7-12.
Oklahoma State Dept. of Education, Oklahoma City. – 1983
This guidebook is based on research on the human brain and the way it processes information. It is noted that current research on the learning process has investigated the differing functions of the left and right brain hemispheres. This research supports the theory that students are inclined to learn through different modalities…

An Effective Strategy to Design Mediated Instruction for Female Adults--Compositional Syntactic Placement.
Hart, Russ A. – 1984
This research was conducted to examine the theoretical basis and findings of an experiment on televised adult instruction. The media coding system element, compositional syntactic placement, was investigated for potential aptitude-treatment interactions on a simple concept learning task. Compositional syntactic placement may be conceptualized as…
