Prof. Dr. Allan PAIVIO: Dual Coding Theory
Allan Pavio discovered that our memory has two codes (or channels) that deal with visual and verbal stimuli.

Dual coding suggests that human cognition is divided into two processing systems: visual and verbal. The visual system deals with graphical information processing and the verbal system deals with linguistic processing.

Prof. Dr. John SWELLER: Cognitive Load Theory
John Sweller, suggests that our working memory is only able to hold a small amount of information at any one time and that instructional methods should avoid overloading it in order to maximise learning (Sweller, 1988).

Urban Myths about Learning and Education
Cognitive Load Theory, developed by John Sweller in the 1980s, was further expanded upon by Paul Kirschner and his colleagues. The theory aims to explain how the limitations of working memory affect learning and instructional design. It proposes that learners have a finite working memory capacity, which can be overloaded when presented with complex or excessive information.
Prof. Dr. Paul KIRSCHNER has also studied 'Urban Myths About Learning and Education' with Pedro de BRUYCKERE and Casper D. HULSHOF and they have published two books about urban myths.
The book "Urban Myths about Learning and Education" investigates widely accepted misconceptions and subsequently presents the evidence-based realities discovered through research in society. Every chapter focuses on a distinct myth, covering various aspects such as learning, the brain, technology, and educational policy.
Note: This poster is prepared by me as a project in Human Performance Technology lesson.
Here are some examples of Urban Myths about Learning and Education:
"You only use 10% of your brain": This myth suggests that humans utilize only a small portion of their brain's capacity.
"Learning styles": This myth suggests that individuals have distinct learning styles (e.g., visual, auditory, kinesthetic) and that teaching methods should align with these styles for effective learning.
"Left-brain vs. right-brain dominance": This myth suggests that people have a dominant hemisphere (left or right) that influences their learning style or personality traits.
"Children are like sponges": This myth implies that young children effortlessly absorb knowledge and skills without much effort.
"The Mozart Effect": This myth suggests that listening to classical music, particularly Mozart, can enhance intelligence or cognitive abilities.
"IQ is fixed and determines intelligence": This myth asserts that intelligence is fixed and can be accurately measured by a single number, known as an IQ score.
Prof. Dr. Richard E. MAYER: Multimedia Learning Principles
Prof. Dr. Richard E. MAYER: Multimedia Learning Principles
Mayer's 12 Multimedia Learning Principles, proposed by Richard E. Mayer, are a set of guidelines that can help optimize the design and delivery of multimedia presentations for effective learning. These principles are based on cognitive theories and empirical research on how people process information from different media formats. These principles are intended to guide the design of multimedia learning materials, such as educational videos, e-learning courses, and multimedia presentations, with the aim of improving comprehension, retention, and overall learning outcomes.
