title: Effect of individual, small group, and large group method of presentation on modal performance in college men and women.
abstract: 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.
