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. -Michal
