Nonlinguistic and Visual Strategies

“Visual” Locations in the Brain

~Ferret research
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…

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, please discuss an
idea about dual-coding that could help
a youth that you work with.

Nonlinguistic Representations
Dr. Robert K. Greenleaf
www.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

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?
Dr. Betty Garner, “Getting to Got It,”
ASCD, 2007

The class creates a
map of the journey as
they interact with the
curriculum.
Locating “points” can
serve some learners to
better comprehend info
due to context.

recall the name of the equation below.

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.
