Dual Coding
Text + Visualisation = better learning
Seneca-inspired dual coding: text and images side by side strengthen learning and memory. Research-based pedagogy.
Text
In a right-angled triangle, Pythagoras' theorem applies: a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse.
Visualisation
Why does it work ?
Dual Process Theory
The brain processes text and images in two separate channels — combination strengthens memory.
Visual memory
We remember images 6× better than text alone. Visualisation makes abstract concepts concrete.
Deeper understanding
When the student sees the connection between text and illustration, meaning-making occurs.
Based on Allan Paivio's Dual Coding Theory and Richard Mayer's Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning.
