Effect of individual, small group, and large group method of presentation on modal performance in college men and women.
The present study investigated individual, small group, and large group methods of presentation in inter- and intra-modal functioning within auditory and visual modes along a temporal dimension. Subjects were 52 men and 70 women, ranging in age from 17 to 36 yr. Auditory and visual stimuli were presented by electronic means in a same-different matching task. Four separate conditions were investigated: auditory-auditory, visual-visual, auditory-visual, and visual-auditory. An analysis of variance, conducted for three methods of presentation, indicated no significant differences. Thus, group testing is feasible in modal research.
