In the present experiment, an attempt was made to find whether the recall of visually
and auditorily presented, meaningful and meaningless materials, are dependent on
the levels of hemispheric dominance and preferred modality of 60 males and females.
Another twenty post-graduate students were involved during the preparation of
materials for auditory presentation. The tools used were (i) Test of Hemispheric
Dominance, (ii) Sensual Modality Preference Instrument, (iii) personal computer
with multimedia & speakers, and (iv) program for visual, and auditory presentation of
meaningful, and meaningless materials. The subjects were visually, and auditorily
presented lists of triagrams as well as words, in batches of 2 or 3 and respective
recall scores were taken. Three-way analysis of variance found gender differences in
the recall of visually presented words, and second order interaction effect in the
recall of visually presented triagrams.
