VISUAL VS. AUDITORY

PURPOSE

• I wanted to see if people remember better by seeing or by hearing.
• I hypothesized that if people took a visual test and an auditory test, then more people would
• do better on the visual test.
• I also hypothesized that girls would do better on the visual test and boys would do better on the auditory test.

MATERIALS

• Timer
• Notecards
• Scoring sheet

PROCEDURE

• I tested thirty teenagers ranging from ages 13-18.
• Fifteen girls and fifteen boys.
• They each took a visual test and an auditory test.
• They had thirty seconds for the visual test.
• For the auditory test I read the numbers to them three times slowly.

RESULTS

• More people scored higher on the visual test than on the auditory test.
• Girls scored higher than boys in visual and boys scored higher than girls in auditory.
• Visual: Girls scored an average of 92 and boys scored an average of 88.
• Auditory: Girls scored an average of 62 and boys scored an average of 71.3
• Overall: People scored an average of 90 on the visual and 66.7 for auditory.
