Heart rate indexes of reaction time (RT) were investigated in male college students. (Author)

The results of the experiments reported here are in support of the hypothesis that visual and aural presentation lead to different forms of storage and/or retrieval. They are not consistent with models of human memory in which short-term storage is restricted exclusively to an auditory-verbal-linguistic process. (Author)

Most studies failed to demonstrate that both groups approach the given tasks in the same way. (Author/DB)

Assesses the impact of the visual complexity of "Sesame Street" segments on preschoolers' visual attention, recall, and recognition.
