80 participants heard an audiotape of a crime, read an account with both co
rrect and new information, then took recognition and source memory tests. W
hile listening and reading, participants attended carefully, and half also
formed visual images of the events. Imagery instructions had no effects, bu
t recognition memory was better for material from the text only than from t
he audiotape only, whereas source memory was better for audiotape than for
text. These results replicate previous findings for film and audiotape.
