 ===== What is dual coding theory? =====
+{{ :images:dual.jpg|The dual coding theory. Image borrowed from: }}
+  * "//The most general assumption in dual coding theory is that there are two classes of phenomena handled cognitively by separate subsystems, one specialized for the representation and processing of information concerning nonverbal objects and events, the other specialized for dealing with language.//"((Paivio, Allan. Mental Representations: A Dual Coding Approach. Oxford University Press, 1990, p53.))
+These two kinds of processing systems result in two types of stored representations:
+  * **logogens**, referring to verbal entities, and
+  * **imagens**, referring to mental images and non-verbal entities.
+Links between verbal and non-verbal representations are called //referential connections// and connections within each of those4 two systems are called //associative connections//. Both types of connections help forming the complex networks of human memory and allow operations like imaging to words and namings to pictures or images to words.
