I don't believe that's true as a blanket statement. They can be effective, particularly in certain contexts and/or for certain audiences.

I believe you're comparing apples and oranges. Streamed text wouldn't be better, would it? If you're storing and archiving text for perusal at learner control, why can't you do the same with video or audio?

I'm not sure I recognize Kissinger on cognitive processing. While I can't cite a study, I'm sure that I could generate a case where individuals can get significant learning from streamed video or audio. They'd just have to be primed properly. And that's easily the case here.
Why do people listen to the radio? In Australia they use radio as a significant component to distance learning. Why, if it doesn't work?

And why do you assume that the streamed conversation needs to stand alone?

Based upon Kissinger's data? Is he comparing text with streamed speech? And what study is he citing?
And, it might vary by individual.

Actually, here I *can* cite a study. Adding emotional entertainment *is* helpful, according to Lepper and Cordova. They took the same interactive learning experience and made it CBT and into a game. There was improvement in outcomes for the game version.
OK, off my soapbox,
