visual vs auditory
Abstract
This research paper is based on experiments that were conducted with the sole purpose of determine people’s different preferences towards various learning and presentation techniques, which translates to content retention and ability to learn and remember a wide range of content that was taught in class. This experiment was done on two different environments; one experiment was done on people in a control environment (classroom) where students did not use visual aid in their study, while the other environment was not done in the classroom but rather in the open and involved the use of visual aid such as; projectors, graphs, chart among other visual equipments. Participants tried their best to write down each word they either saw or heard but some participants did better than others. Both Group A and Group B performed approximately the same.
The result of this experiment, which was based on the ability of the respondents to retain or remember different words, was recorded in a frequent table which will be analyzed in this research paper.
Intro
Researchers and policy makers alike allude to the fact that virtually all human beings are visual beings and not theoretical beings, and that they learn better as well as remember or recall different facts and information based on how these information was passed to them. For example, research has shown that when visual aids such as charts, graphs, projectors among other visual aids are used in teaching and presentation, the audiences are able to increase their word or content retention to a larger extent compared to when no visual aid are not used in presentation and teaching (Carol and Roger, 1978). This lab report will conduct an in-depth analysis on an experiment that was conducted by 18 participants, under control and non-control environment in relation to use of visual aid in making experiments. The research paper will thereafter make recommendations, conduct a step by step analysis on
