Abstract
Background and Objectives: The process of retention and storage of any kind of information is known as Memory. Present study was conducted to compare the Visual & Auditory Short term memory (STM) in Psychology & Non psychology Students. Materials and Methods: After appropriate consent from students and department. The study comprised of 60 students (30 Psychology, 30 non-psychology/other stream students ) aged 16-20 years of Amity University Gwalior, M.P included ,students having infirmities (Visual or Auditory) were excluded. Reaction time for audiovisual exposures to recalling is noted in all ten subtests. Results: There is a strong difference between the retention and storing capacity of visual STM and auditory STM among both groups. Results: There is a strong difference between the retention and storing capacity of visual STM and auditory STM (p<0.001) between both groups. The mean reaction time is more for long words/sentences than short words. Short words are remembered more accurately than long words by both groups. Interpretation and Conclusion: The visual STM has a short mean reaction time and more accuracy than auditory STM. STM and working memory plays an important role in the learning processes of both groups of undergraduate students.
Highlights
The purpose of present study is to compare the two categories of short term memory i.e. visual and auditory on all sub scale P.G.I. memory Scale
Background and ObjectivesThe process of retention and storage of any kind of information is known as Memory
The auditory section verbal retention for similar pairs was tested in same manner by giving short words/pairs “ I am going to read little small paired word one by one
Summary
The purpose of present study is to compare the two categories of short term memory i.e. visual and auditory on all sub scale P.G.I. memory Scale. Through our study we tried to find out which form of memory is accurate and can be recalled best between two stream Comparative Study of Visual & Auditory Memory between Psychology & Non-Psychology Students: Testing a Stream Hypothesis & Other stream). Short-term memory has usually been thought of to be primarily an auditory process.
