title: Learner retention of anatomical information presented in a digital two-dimensional format versus a digital three-dimensional format.
abstract: This pilot study investigated learner retention of anatomical information presented in a digital two-dimensional format versus a digital three-dimensional format. Thirty-six undergraduate art students were selected by double-blind random assignment to use one of two instructional treatments: a digital two-dimensional presentation of basic brain anatomy or a digital three-dimensional presentation of the same information. Although both groups improved from pre- to post-tests, the data revealed no significant difference in test scores between the two treatments.
