Dual coding theory (DCT) explains human behavior and experience in terms of dynamic associative processes that operate on a rich network of modality-specific verbal and nonverbal (or imagery) representations. We first describe the underlying premises of the theory and then show how the basic DCT mechanisms can be used to model diverse educational phenomena. The research demonstrates that concreteness, imagery, and verbal associative processes play major roles in various educational domains: the… 

The effect of multiple internal representations on context-rich instruction

We discuss n-coding, a theoretical model of multiple internal mental representations. The n-coding construct is developed from a review of cognitive and imaging data that demonstrates the

Field dependence–independence as visuospatial and executive functioning in working memory: implications for instructional systems design and research

Field dependence–independence (FDI) has long been conceptualized and discussed as a cognitive style relevant to numerous educational approaches and outcomes. However, the FDI construct is most often

Introduction: There is a history of overlap between art and science education, particularly in anatomy and other related medical specialties. Technological advances have increased exposure to visual

Instructional Visualizations, Cognitive Load Theory, and Visuospatial Processing

Five methods for directing the design of visualizations by considering how learners process visuospatial information based on cognitive load theory and cognitive theory of multimedia learning are described, which are discussed by discussing instructional implications for science education and providing future directions for research.

A conceptual framework is proposed that could be used to evaluate the available research literature and guide further research on the use of imagery techniques to modify performance and is based on evidence that imagery mediates behaviour through either cognitive or motivational mechanisms.
