Effects of Auditory Reception on Auditory and Visual Learning Tasks

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to study the effect of auditory reception on the learning of auditory and visual paired associate learning tasks. The first hypothesis was that high auditory receivers will perform significantly better than low auditory receivers on the auditory paired associate learning task. The second hypothesis was that there will not be a significant difference between high auditory receivers and low auditory receivers on the visual paired associate learning tasks.

The results indicated that auditory discrimination as measured by the Wepman Auditory Discrimination Test was a significant factor in auditory learning. High auditors performed significantly better than low auditors on the auditory paired associate learning task. There was no significant difference found between high auditors and low auditors on the visual paired associate learning task.
