摘要：This experiment observed the influence of channel of presentation and type of processing on the recall of meaningful words. This study used a 2 by 2 factorial design to randomly assigned 60 psychology students each into 4 groups; Visual Shadowed, Visual Non-shadowed, Auditory Shadowed and Auditory Non-shadowed groups. Participants in each specific group were presented with a list of 15 meaningful words depending on their specified treatment with an inter stimulus period of 1 second and further asked to recall after 30 seconds. Recall results indicated that there was no significant difference between auditory and visual channels of presentation in the learning and memory of meaningful words. However, participants whose processing was shadowed performed better than the non-shadowed group during recall. In addition, the experiment noted a significant level of interaction effect between the channel of presentation and the type of processing on the learning and memory of meaningful words among participants. This study has implication for both research and theoretical implications.
