Abstract

This study examined the question of whether instruction matched to a student's preferred modality would result in more efficient learning than instruction matched to a student's nonpreferred modality. Modality preference was identified on the basis of a student's Aural and Visual Input scores of the Visual Aural Digit Span (VADS) test. Consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) trigrams were utilized as the content to be learned. These trigrams were presented to students in two modality-pure formats: aural and visual. The students in the study were classified as learning disabled and were enrolled in resource rooms or self-contained special education classes. Sixty nine students participated in the study (age range = 75 to 155 months). The results revealed that there was no significant difference in students' learning of CVC trigrams when instructed according to their preferred modality as opposed to their nonpreferred modality.
