The Effects of Reading, Listening, and Dual Modality on Comprehension - Beth A. Rogowsky, Barbara M. Calhoun, Paula Tallal, 2016 </title>...
Does Modality Matter? The Effects of Reading, Listening, and Dual Modality on Comprehension Beth A. Rogowsky brogowsk@bloomu.edu, Barbara M. Calhoun, and Paula Tallal First published online September 1, 2016 Abstract With advancing technology, there is increasing interest in differences between listening versus reading comprehension or doing both simultaneously. Ninety-one participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups that received the same instructional material (the preface and a chapter from a non-fiction book), but each in a different input modality (digital audiobook, e-text, dual modality). After completing the material, participants took the same comprehension test in written form to establish both immediate comprehension (Time 1) and 2-week retention (Time 2). No statistically significant differences were found for any analyses pertaining to effects of the three different instructional conditions on comprehension at Time 1 or Time 2. Additional analyses showed...
