separately or in combination. Five hundred forty students
were divided into 4 groups of approximately 130 each, with
the groups being equated on the basis of mental age, chrono-
logical age, ability in visual and auditory discrimination,
and rate of learning new words. Group I had 30 lessons of
10 minutes per day in auditory discrimination. Group II had
30 lessons of 10 minutes per day in visual discrimination.
Group III had a program of both auditory and visual discrimi-
nation which replaced a portion of the regularly scheduled
reading session. Group IV did not receive any special material,
but followed the regularly scheduled routine, acting as a con-
trol group. At each measuring period, the experimental groups
showed superiority over the control group in reading achievement.
The method of determining auditory discrimination was not mentioned
in the Durrell report and no provision was made for the detection
of growth in this area.
Although there can be no doubt as to the value of the four
studies mentioned, each has its own limitations. This study
was unique in that it
1. Provided for the use of auditory materials only.
2. Controlled the teacher variable and outside visual
influences by utilizing a tape-recorded program.
3. Provided for the measurement of auditory discrimi-
nation both at the beginning and at the end of the experiment
by approved clinical methods.
