By connecting words with images, learners can create stronger mental connections and recall the word more easily.

Philosophical Models of Education a. Impressionist Model b. Insight Model c. Rule Model Impressionist Model: This model involves picturing the mind essentially as sifting & storing the external impressions to which it is receptive. The desired & result of teaching is an accumulation in the learner of basic elements fed in the form without, organized & processed in standard ways, but in any event, not generated by the learner himself. Insight Model: This model insists that knowledge is a matter of vision, & vision cannot be dissected into elementary sensory or verbal units that can be conveyed from one person to another. Vision defines & organizes particular experiences, & points out their significance. It is vision or insight into meaning, which makes the crucial difference between simply storing & reproducing learned sentences, on the one hand & understanding their basis & application, on the other. Rule Model: This model clearly emphasizes the role of principles in cognitive domain. The primary philosophical emphasis is on reason, & reason is always a matter of abiding by general rules or principles. The job of education is to develop character in the broadest sense, that is, principled thought and action, in which the dignity of man is manifest.
