- | Dual coding is a theory of cognition introduced by [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan_Paivio|Allan Paivio]] 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.

- | Pavio also refers to the issue of problem-solving. Problem-solving is, according to Pavio, the result of joined work of both verbal and non-verbal processing, but if the task is more concrete and non-verbal, the contribution of non-verbal processing system will be more crucial to the outcome and vice-versa. | + | Paivio also refers to the issue of problem-solving.
