-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//​.(()) ​  +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.
