Visual art was used to teach the biopsychiatric model of addiction to audiences in the Caribbean, Europe and Mideast. Art slides were tangentially linked to slides of pharmacological data. Stylistically dense art was processed by the intuitive right brain while spare notational pharmacological data was processed by the intellectual (rationalistic) left brain. Simultaneous presentation of these data enhanced attention and retention. This teaching paradigm was based on the nonliterate methods…

Visual Symbolization as a Learning Tool: Teaching Pharmacology to International Audiences
TLDR
This work has shown that medieval and Renaissance teaching techniques used linkage between course content and tangentially related visual symbols to reinforce lectures to produce significant results with non‐English‐speaking audiences using concurrent or consecutive translation.
Use of Tangential Visual Symbols to Increase the Long‐Term Learning Process: Applications of Linkage in Teaching Pharmacological Principles of Addiction
TLDR
Simultaneous stimulation of both chemical systems by teaching formats similar to those employed in the study can augment neurochemical signaling in the neocortex.
Teaching with Symbols Tangentially Related to Topic: Using a Linked Multimedia Approach to Enhance Learning
TLDR
Students viewing symbolic slides had significantly higher test scores on a written 20-question multiple-choice test given immediately after the lecture.

Conceptual Structure and Conceptual Tempo
TLDR
College students selected for extremes of concrete and abstract conceptual structure were given 4 visual information-processing tasks and non-parametric analysis of over-all performance indicated that abstract Ss and males tended to be both faster and more accurate in visual tasks than concrete S s and females, respectively.
