Commentary Variations: Level of Verbalization, Personal Reference, and Phase Relations in Instructional Films on Perceptual-Motor Tasks (Rapid Mass Learning)

Abstract

The report discusses some facets of the use of motion pictures in instruction, particularly the manner in which the modalities of visual and auditory perception interact and the two types of stimuli integrate, reinforce, or inhibit the communication of meanings. A study is documented in which three kinds of commentary variations were tested in the learning of knot tying tasks: Levels of verbalization, different forms of the personal pronoun, and leading or lagging sound with relation to the picture. The test results are discussed and some recommendations are made.
