The present research measured the effect that printed text, or visual image, or both together had on learning information presented auditorally. The participants were 64 Algoma University College first-year students who were randomly assigned to four groups corresponding to the four conditions. Each group was given a six-minute videotaped lecture and tested immediately. It was predicted that learners who were presented with an auditory lecture that had additions of text, or visual image, or both together would score higher on a learning posttest than those that were presented with the auditory lecture alone. There was no significant differences found between the groups.
