- | 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.

+ | Common criticisms of dual coding theory suggest that there is no need for two representational systems, since both verbal and non-verbal stimuli are processed in working memory, turned to semantic elements or propositions and are stored in long-term memory. This assumption is sometimes also known as the //single-coding theory//.(([[http://ro.uow.edu.au/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?filename=0&article=1518&context=theses&type=additional&sei-redir=1#search=%22Animating%20Mind%3A%20An%20Analysis%20Animation%20as%20Representational%20Mode%20Learning%22|Hewson, Lindsay.
