The modality effect is a term used in experimental psychology, most often in the fields dealing with memory and learning, to refer to how learner performance depends on the presentation mode of studied items.
The Modality Effect is a phenomenon in psychology and cognitive science that refers to how the mode or modality in which information is presented impacts recall and comprehension. It posits that people tend to remember information better if it is presented via different sensory modalities…
The modality effect refers to a cognitive load learning effect which occurs when a mixed mode (partly visual and partly auditory) presentation of information is more effective than when the same information is presented in a single mode (either visual or auditory alone).
The modality effect refers to the phenomenon in which information is better remembered when presented through multimodal means rather than a single modality. It suggests that using multiple sensory channels, such as visual and auditory, enhances learning and memory retention.
The present paper contrasts two modality effects in verbal short-term recall. The first one is the standard modality effect according to which recall is better for auditorily than for visually presented lists (and sentences). This effect is independent of the modality of recall.
This article reviews research on the modality effect, the educational practice of presenting to-be-learned graphical information visually, and related textual information through an auditory...
This article reviews research on the modality effect, which states that learning will be enhanced if textual information is presented in an auditory format, rather than the usual visual format, when accompanying related visually based information, such as a graph, diagram or animation.
The modality effect is intimately bound up with two other effects, the recency effect and the suffix effect. The recency effect is the finding that the last few (or most recent) items from a sequence are more likely to be recalled than the preceding items.
Dual-modality presentations can be used to reduce the extraneous cognitive load caused by visual split-attention. Within a cognitive load framework, the modality effect is explained by a more efficient use of the available cognitive resource.
The modality effect, which has been investigated by cognitive load theory, predicts that learning from visualizations supplemented with written text should be less effective than learning from...
