| Popis: | The present experiment served as an initial empirical investigation of the spatial-verbal processing model of Dansereau and colleagues. The model was developed as a framework for elucidating the processes associated with the acquisition of information from spatial text displays (e.g., knowledge maps). The assumptions of the model lead to the contention that main ideas (processed mainly through spatial channels) act to cross-cue details (processed mainly through verbal channels). Moreover, this main idea-detail relationship can be expected to differ as a function of the temporal nature of acquisition (i.e., initial comprehension, encoding/storage, and recall/utilization). Participants in the present experiment were divided into two experimental groups, map and text. Both groups studied a passage of information over the autonomic nervous system and completed recall tests after a 5-min. overview, after studying for 30 min., and two days after the completion of studying. Those in the map group studied the information in the form of knowledge maps, while those in the text group studied traditional text. Recall results indicated that retention of details did not decay from initial to delayed recall, while the retention of main ideas did. Further, the main idea-detail relationship was mediated by the temporal nature of recall and experimental group. Main ideas and details were strongly related initially but not on subsequent recall for the map group, while just the opposite was the case for the text group. |
