Visual Mediational Instruction: Reducing Interference within Visual and Aural Multiple-Discrimination Tasks.

Newby, T. J.; And Others

Journal of Educational Psychology, v80 n1 p40-45 Mar 1988

In two studies with 50 male and 50 female undergraduates, differences in learning highly interfering paired-associate discrimination tasks were compared with or without visual mediational cues and with aural cues only. Visual mediational instruction reduced interference between similar signals and facilitated their association with the correct symbol. (SLD)
