CONT

La théorie du double codage comporte plusieurs postulats. D'abord, l'information peut avoir d'autres représentations mentales qu'une représentation verbale. Elle peut être représentée visuellement. Ensuite, la mémorisation du matériel serait meilleure lorsque le matériel peut être encodé à la fois sous forme imagée et sous forme verbale.
