TRANSCRIPT
The effects of a visual presentation and spoken
sequence on the number of people with the correct order of numbers out of
10 digits [1 – 0]
We wanted to see how many numbers you [the students] would remember out of 10
We compared the results from◦ The poster portion [visual]◦ The listening portion [auditory]
The results showed the poster [visual] results were more accurate
ABSTRACT
Visual and auditory processing are both part of short– term memory
We tested human memory, which is part of the human Nervous system
People used to rely more on listening◦ They had better auditory
memories People now rely on visual
helpers, such at TV and computers◦ We use our visual memory more
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
BACKGROUND INFORMATION… [continued]
There are three information processing systems - sensory: ex. smell, taste, touch
- short – term memory: ex. Memorizing a new phone numbers
- long term memory: ex. Memorizing your birth date
Each type of memory has its own part of the brain that is isolated from other parts
- listening information is separated from visual information
If the students use a visual aid to help them memorize a sequence, then they will memorize more numbers out of 10 in correct
sequence rather than using an auditory presentation.
1. We showed the class a poster with 10 numbers for 20 seconds
2. They wrote down what they remembered
3. We read aloud a different order of 10 numbers
4. They wrote down what they remembered
Our hypothesis was right The t-score showed that more visual results
were accurate People remember better from visual
presentations than from listening
