EYES AND EARS
Question
Is visual better than auditory?
The purpose of this project is to determine do people have better visual (eyesight) memory or auditory( hearing) memory.
Purpose
I hypothesize that visual will be better then auditory. I believe this because for me, seeing helps me remember things. For studying a test it is better to see the words.
