This experiment was concerned with learning to identify objects (birds) based on their common names. The image of a bird was paired thrice along a training session with its name, which could appear in an auditory or in a visual-textual modality. Additionally, it intended to evaluate if productive language modes, speaking (saying aloud) or writing the just heard or read name, could have a facilitating effect on nominal identifica tion learning. Six learning conditions were arranged, according to language modes combinations: 1) Silent reading; 2) Reading and speaking (reading aloud); 3) Reading and writing; 4) Listening; 5) Listening and speaking (repeating aloud); 6) Listening and writing. Experimental results showed that reactive modes, listening and silent reading, generated better object recognizing performances when the name was presented in either modality during the test. The participation of productive modes, specially writing, produced poor recognizing performances. An occurrence contingencies analysis is offered for each experimental condition intending to explain the observed results.
