Editing Dual coding theory (section)

== '''Overview''' ==
Dual coding theory was proposed by Paivio(1991) that verbal and non-verbal representations constitute the two main channels of human cognition. It is underlined that both verbal and non-verbal information processing are crucial for the storing, processing, and extraction of information. Dual coding theory of multimedia learning is a prominent and crucial theory that supports screen-based computer media learning, meaning that learning through the simultaneous presentation of multiple formats such as picture animations and audio narration as learning materials increases the learning effect of the learner. It helps learners make referential connections between visual and verbal information and [[transfer]] knowledge to different contexts (Mayer,1994).
