A preliminary investigation of the effect of radio reception on school achievement

Abstract

77 high school pupils were given Stanford Achievement Tests in reading and arithmetic with and without the distraction of radio program reception, and also were required to study text assignments in physics and chemistry with and without such distraction, and were tested for acquisition of information during the periods of study. Radio reception does not seem to produce any significant effect. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
