Visual Imagerya la Stephen Kosslyn,

Department of Psychology, Harvard

Assoc. Psychologist in Neurology, MGH

“Mental images have the same effect

on the mind and body as the actual

activity/situation.”

Let’s explore this statement…

Image Rotation

“Rotate the Letter “N” below, 90 degrees

counter-clockwise…. What do you get?”

Visual Foundation for Learning

When a learner comes to make

conscious use of fundamental visual

aspects of processing ~ they access a

powerful means of making, strengthening,

integrating and retrieving memory.

Visual Imagery

Paired Words ExerciseA la Steven Koslyn, 2006

Quasi-experiment: Form two groups

(This is an individual-based, silent activity)

I will speak a list of “paired” words, like:

Squirrel Doughnut

As you hear the pair of words:

Group #1 repeats words over and over

(silently to themselves)

Group #2 creates visual links between

the two words/items

Dual Coding Theory

• Bi-modal memory “packets:” The formation of long-term memory & recall

When both VERBAL and VISUAL elements

are EXPLICITLY and SIMULTANEOUSLY

represented & actively processed … the

formation of memory is more powerful and

sustained.

Dual Coding Research

Mental Imagery Training & ComprehensionGambrell & Bales, 1986

• 4th & 5th grade poor readers

• Short training session encouraging students to make pictures in their

head while reading

• Control group was told to do whatever they could to understand and

remember while reading

• The reading passages included both explicit and

implicit inconsistencies in the text• Students were instructed to determine if there was anything not clear

or easy to understand.

Results: The imagery group identified both types of

inconsistencies more than TWICE as well as the

control group.Dr. Robert K. Greenleaf

Dual Coding ResearchDegree of Importance, Emotional Response & Degree of Spontaneous

Imagery and Recall ~ Sadoski, Goetz & Kangiser (1988)

• Students read literary short stories and articles from

magazines.

• Students rated each paragraph (5 point scale) for:

1. The degree of imagery experienced

2. The degree of emotional response evoked

3. The level of importance of the information.

• Results: 16 days later, the recall on highly rated imagery and

emotion paragraphs was high, but recall on paragraphs rated

high on importance was not.

Please write something down.

With someone nearby, discuss an idea

about dual-coding that could help a

student that you work with.

Nonlinguistic Representations

Dr. Robert K. Greenleaf

www.greenleaflearning.com

bob@greenleaflearning.com

“While most books are lavishly illustrated,

these representations are rarely helpful

because they are too abstract, needlessly

complicated, or inadequately explained.”Wiggins & McTighe, UbD, ASCD 2005

OR… non-central to the concepts and essential big

ideas, thus primarily a distraction.Greenleaf, 2008

Spatial Orientation: Proximity

Reflective Question on Visual-Spatial

What are the implications of students being unaware of

location, distance, direction and perspective? How do

these affect the way students gather, process and

express information?

Graphic Organizers

~ provide visual cues regarding the

relationship of information and ideas.

External structures, like graphic organizers, can

serve to guide internal processing, thus

assisting in the formation of memory networks

for improved organization & recall.
