The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of sensory modality on short-term memory recall. An exploratory, cross-sectional study was performed. A total of 119 individuals participated. There were 70 female and 49 male subjects, aged 4 to 80 years (M=34,3). The participants were presented with 12 different objects in auditory, visual or auditory/visual mode over a period of 24 seconds. The participants were then asked to recall as many of the 12 objects as possible in any order. The study took place at a day nursery, junior high schools, meetings with elderly and adults with house calls. Non-probability samples were used. The conclusion was that visual short-term memory generated the highest recollection and that adults had the highest mean on the different stimuli. A visual element is recommended at recollection.
