Input Variables in Caption Research

Randall COTTEN



Abstract

Much research has been carried out to determine the possible benefits of using captions in combination with either moving images and/or spoken dialogue. These types of research can be classified in two basic ways. On the one hand are studies which investigate the effect that either the absence or presence of captions (textual input) have on listening comprehension when subjects are exposed to both spoken dialogue (aural input) and moving pictures (kinetic input). On the other hand are studies which isolate the effect of textual input on listening comprehension in the absence of any kinetic input. In this paper, a review of the different studies will be presented, and suggestions will be given for what other types of variables should be considered.

Key words : EFL, captions, information processing
