Summary:Comparison of retention three years after instruction was made for four conditions of learning introductory psychology: An off-campus television group (n = 40), a traditional classroom group (n = 22), a TV-in-studio class (n = 11), and a kinescope class (n = 10). The original-test-retention-test differences were not significant, nor was the test x group interaction. "The results . . . indicate that . . . long-term retention of . . . material learned by television . . . is as good as that learned by traditional means . . . ."
