| - | Dual coding is a theory of cognition introduced by [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan_Paivio|Allan Pavio]] in late 1960s. This theory suggests that there are **two distinct subsystems** contributing to cognition: one is specialized **for language** and verbal information, and the other **for images** and non-verbal information.
