Depends. For some people pictures work and for others words. All of us different modalities of learning. There are a basic 5 that are sight, touch, hearing, movement (fine and gross motor), taste. Some have combination of the 5 basic and one researcher Dr. Howard Gardner of Project Zero at Harvard writes there are 9 intelligences. If I want to learn something I need to write it down and to see it to get a visual picture in my head. I use mental visuals a lot to remember and to use.

Do people remember pictures or words easier?I chose to investigate this question myself as part of my gcse psychology corsework.I tested 40 13-14 year old pupils with a simple recall test. I would show each class (20 pupils in each) a PowerPoint a series of 20 slides, with alternating pictures and words, such as football, china, and dog. I then gave the students 3 minutes to write down as much as they could remember of the list. The order of the pictures/words was different for both classes, in order to reduce order effects.I found that overall, people were more likely to remember the pictures, with an average of 5.3 words remembered and 7.3 pictures remebered (out of 20) in one class.In total 205 words were remembered between the classesand 274 pictures were recalled.51% of all words recalled.69% of all pictures recalled.However it is worth noting that i only tested year 9 students and the experiment conditions were not relevant to a real life situation. But i hope this helps answer your question.Aimee Ash
