College students (n = 143) participated in a study examining the effects of music and sound effects on learning outcomes when compared to voice-only narration. Four groups of participants listened to a recorded short story and answered questions about the story. The control group’s story was a voice-only narration. The three treatment groups’ story was enhanced with one of the following: sound effects, music, or a combination of sound effects and music. Means for each group were not significantly different, and the difference of means between and within each of the groups was also found not to be significant. The results indicated that the presence sound effects and music from an audio-only presentation did not significantly increase or decrease learning. 2012 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1352397100 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1352397100 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
