“…Words may be similarly dually encoded if accompanied by visual imagery, but this is less likely to occur spontaneously. The hypothesis is well compatible with the findings of retrieval rates being higher for pictures than for concrete words, and higher for concrete words than for abstract words (Paivio & Csapo, 1973). The assumption that pictures are always named has, however, been called into question on the basis of other data (Kroll & Potter, 1984).…”

“…However, if any, we expected the youtube fragments to have a larger impact. Several researchers have indicated that the recall and recognition of visual information is superior to that of textual information (Childers and Houston, 1984;Paivio and Csapo, 1973) and that visual information is more effective in (positively) changing an attitude than verbal information (e.g., advertisements Mitchell and Olson, 1981). This was not what we observed.…”

“…The "dual-coding" explanation, on the other hand, asserts Hi-F lo·F Pic"".. that two internal codes (imaginal and verbal) are more efficient than one and that pictures are more likely to produce such a dual coding than words-due to the presumed greater propensity of Ss to label pictures spontaneously than to generate visual images for words spontaneously. Paivio and Csapo (1973) have provided evidence in support of the "dual-coding" (rather than the "concre tene ss") interpretation of picture-word differences in free recall. While this also seems to be the case in discrimination learning (Levin, Ghatala, DeRose, Wilder, & Norton, in press), the present study suggests that neither explanation is completely adequate if "background frequency" is ignored.…”
