Abel, R. Robert; Kulhavy, Raymond W. – American Educational Research Journal, 1986
Subjects studied one of three maps varying in feature configuration and spatial distribution before reading or listening to a related story. There were no differences in recall due to mode of text presentation, but the type of map profoundly influenced recall from both the test and the map. (Author/GDC)
