What is Dual-Coding Theory

Chapter 1
Cognitive and Affective Perspectives on Immersive Technology in Education
Dual-coding theory describes the modality information process in working memory. The modality information includes verbal and non-verbal. The dual-coding theory asserts that learning becomes more effective and efficient when incoming information is processed through multiple visual formats like text and pictures.

Learning With Immersive Technology: A Cognitive Perspective
Robert Z. Zheng (The University of Utah, USA)
Copyright: © 2020 |Pages: 21
DOI: 10.4018/978-1-7998-3250-8.ch001
Abstract
The current chapter focuses on the cognitive process relating to immersive technology in learning. By reviewing the cognitive theories in human architecture, the author argues that learners' learning can be significantly improved with technologies that promote deep processing through sensory immersive experience like virtual reality. Discussion of the features of immersive technologies is made in relation to human cognitive processing. Suggestions for future research and application of immersive technology in education are included to help educators and professionals to better integrate immersive technology in teaching and training.

Designing Learner-Centered Multimedia Technology
A theory of learning that indicates the benefit from learning via two noncompeting modalities (in terms of accessing the same attentional resources) such as text and images. The dual-coding benefit refers to the increased probability of information retrieval when compared to encoding information with only one modality.
