Dave, thanks for your question. It sent me off into Google Scholar, where I found some newer studies that found that letting learners silently read text to themselves resulted in better learning. Presumably this is because learners are more active (listening is passive) and, most importantly, they can work at their own pace. I've got a new blog post on this topic.

Cathy
Thank you for this article. I am aware of Ruth Clark’s research that explains how using redundant audio and text to explain graphics depresses learning, but is there research that says if you only have text and audio, that the redundant audio depresses learning? I don’t like redundant text and audio and would like to point to research backing that stance up.
