Re: Need a reference

Thanks for the info, although I did find some of these references in my 
search. The abstracts, and what I know of the subject, seem to indicate 
a correlation between the level of processing and recall, rather than a 
 relationship between the number of senses used (e.g. hearing and 
seeing the info as opposed to just seeing it) and recall. Or do these 
sources also note finding a relationship between recall and number of 
sense modalities utilized as well?

Thanks for any further clarification!

Subject: Need a reference

Does anyone have a reference for the concept that the more senses we use

in accruing information, the better the retention and/or understanding 
of that information will be? I have been searching Psychinfo for the 
past half hour and I just can't seem to find a source to support this. 
Is my lack of success due to that fact that I have failed to use the 
right set of terms to access this data, or the fact that this idea is a 
psych myth?

Thanks for your help!
