  1. The Effect of Electronic and Traditional Learning on the Retention of Visual Information. Sarah Ramey and Brandi Dennis

  2. Our hypothesis was that if students are presented two picture puzzles, one on paper and one on computer, then students will better comprehend the picture on paper because the brightness produced by the computer may distract the person as well as the pixels of the picture may cause a slight distortion of the image and may help cause eye fatigue Hypothesis!

  3. 40 Consenting students (from three different classes) • Two Picture puzzles (one with nine differences and one with ten) • Stop Watch • Paper ( picture puzzles, answer sheet, cover sheet) • Pencils • Laptops • Classrooms Materials!

  4. 1.) Seat students • 2.) Distribute paper copies of image one to every other student • 3.)Distribute laptops (facing away from students) to those who did not get paper and open image one • 4.)Hand out answer sheet labeled one through ten Methods!

  5. 5.) Explain procedure to students • 6.) Say “go” and have students record results for two minutes • 7.) Once time is up collect paper copies of image one and collect laptops • 8.) Distribute image two in the same fashion only this time switch paper and laptops (those who had paper will have a laptop and those who had a laptop should have paper) • 9.) Repeat steps one through seven Methods (cont’d)

  6. Surprisingly we had many sources of error. During our trial runs we had a couple students who didn’t fully understand the instructions and didn’t write down the differences. We had a few forget to check off which method they were using (paper or computer) and a few students who didn’t care and goofed off and wrote down things not even related to the pictures. Sources of Error!

  7. Our data proved to be Significant because we performed a paired T test which showed our data to be at 0.018253529 and because this number is under 0.05 it shows we are indeed significant! Significant or Not Significant

  8. We hypothesized that paper would do better in our experiment than computer did and after several students being tested we were able to prove that prediction correct! • Computer average= 0.02947222 • Paper average= 0.0383333 • A 10% difference! Conclusion
