Abstract

Whether information is stored and processed as images or propositions is of importance to instructional designers but may never be known for certain. Nevertheless, what is known about representation can still be useful. The author suggests that it is sometimes useful to consider information as being encoded as images, sometimes as language, and sometimes as propositions and describes research that provides evidence of processing in all these forms.
