I'm not sure. I believe so, but from what I understand most of 
the formal research was done in the USSR (back when it was still 
the USSR). Look up "suggestopedia"...

It's been a while since I read the the Superlearning books. I
know there was a lot of empirical evidence (people teaching
classes this way with success).. Not sure about the study. 
They actually read the content aloud, of course, rather than
just display it on a screen.
