Patent number: 4710130Abstract: A product and method for the presentation of prerecorded audio-visual sets of related words or phrases for their learned association is disclosed wherein the learner is presented simultaneous and sequential audio material while viewing spatially compatible visual representations. The first auditory presentation directs a known stimulus to the learner's left ear and an unknown response to the right ear. The stimulus is at a lower intensity than the response and the onset of the stimulus is slightly before or simultaneous with the onset of the response. The next auditory presentation directs the response term to both ears. The auditory presentations are concurrent with exposure to visual representations of the stimulus and response terms. This optimal combination saves time, improves performance, and enhances the efficiency of rehearsal for learning the association of the verbal stimulus-response materials.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 1986Date of Patent: December 1, 1987Inventor: Louis Aarons
