q3 i? Adults' VVQ scores were not related in any strong or clearly interpretable way to free-recall performance across auditory, visual, or combined presentation modalities. → Pashler 2009

q3 · i? · review · r2

Laboratory task relating adults' Visualizer–Verbalizer Questionnaire scores to verbal free recall of words presented auditorily, visually as line drawings, or both. The study found no style–recall relation, and separately visual presentations produced better free recall than purely verbal presentations.

"VVQ scores were not related in any strong or clearly interpretable way to relative levels of free-recall performance for different input modalities."
