-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.

 ===== Criticisms ===== ===== Criticisms =====
  
 +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.
