-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.

-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.
