Abstract

We report the results of a study that investigated the usage of a consumer-grade smartwatch for associative media learning. In a study with 29 participants, we investigated the effects of learning the Morse code alphabet purely visual versus learning with an associated vibration pattern. Our results show a trend that participants who received the vibration stimulus in addition to the visual stimulus learned faster and retained more knowledge than the group who learned using only the visualization, as measured by two post-tests one and three days after the learning took place.
