Effects of Modality of Learning on Information Integration and Source Memory Judgments Open Access
Carr, Allison Nicole (2016)
Abstract
The current study examined the effect of the modality of presentation of information on college students' ability to integrate that information to create knowledge they were not explicitly taught and to make judgments about the source of their knowledge. In two experiments, adults were presented with novel facts either visually or auditorily and asked to integrate those facts to form new information. No significant differences in integration ability were found between the different modality conditions, meaning that the modality of presentation of the facts did not appear to impact the integration process. This study also tested adults' awareness of their own memory processes by asking them to recall the modality in which they originally learned the different facts (i.e., source). Results revealed that adults who were aware of the modality of the facts and of the integration process itself were overall more successful in integrating information.
