“…In terms of rough "face validity," Jensen's findings might not have strong implications for instruction because his task-remembering a string of digits for a few seconds-does not resemble ordinary classroom learning. More to the point, research indicates that individual differences in short-term memory are at best modestly related to individual differences in list learning (Gorfein, Bennett, Arbak, & Graves, 1969;Gorfein & Blair, 1971). Consequently, Jensen's findings leave open the question of whether individual differences are as predictable across modalities as within modalities when the task involves learning larger amounts of material and retention over intervals longer than a few seconds.…”

This study concerned the possible interaction of individual differences in learning with mode of presentation. The subjects were college students; data analyses were replicated by conducting separate analyses for two groups of 77 and 83 subjects, respectively. Each subject learned 4 test lists of 20 words each, 2 under auditory presentation and 2 under visual presentation. The main analyses indicated that individual differences in learning were reliable and that individual differences were just as predictable across modalities as within modalities. A complementary analysis showed that subjects could not be reliably classified in terms of auditory-visual preference scores. The findings gave no support to the contention that subjects can be classified as auditory learners or visual learners.
