A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF VISUAL & AUDITORY SHORT TERM MEMORY IN CHILDREN & TO EVALUATE RECALLING
Journal Title: International Journal of Basic and Applied Physiology - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Background and Objectives: The process of retention and storage of any kind of information is known as Memory. In this study we are trying to find out which form of memory is accurate and can be recalled best; hence present study was conducted to compare the Visual & Auditory Short term memory(STM) in children and to evaluate the rapidity and specificity of response of children to both Visual and Auditory inputs (assessing Working memory status). Materials and Methods: After appropriate consent from parents and school teachers; the study comprised of 100(50 boys, 50 girls) Healthy Children aged 11-15years of National Higher Secondary School, Raipur (C.G.). Children having infirmities (Visual or Auditory) were excluded. Reaction time for audiovisual exposures to recalling is noted. Results: There is a strong difference between the retention and storing capacity of visual STM and auditory STM (p <0.001). The mean reaction time is more for long words than short words. Short words are remembered more accurately than long words.. 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 school children
