Paivio's experiments showed that presenting pictures and text simultaneously produces memory results approximately 1.5–2 times higher than presenting text alone.
Dual coding theory was proposed by cognitive psychologist Allan Paivio, who argued that humans simultaneously use a verbal system and an imagery system to process information, with dual-channel encoding yielding higher memory and comprehension efficiency.
Dual-coding theory was proposed by Allan Paivio in 1971, indicating that memory retention is better when information is encoded simultaneously through both visual and auditory channels than through a single channel.
