Our Brain’s Visual Superpower
Our brains are wired to process images with astounding speed and efficiency. Research from the International Forum of Visual Practitioners reveals that we can interpret images in as little as 13 milliseconds—up to 60,000 times faster than reading text and three times faster than blinking!
This remarkable visual processing power sets the stage for a greater learning synergy when paired with words. That’s where Dual-Coding Theory comes in. It explains that our brains handle visual and verbal information through separate channels. When we combine images with text, these channels work together to dramatically enhance our understanding and retention. Studies have shown that adding illustrations to text boosts comprehension in 98% of experiments reviewed.
Building on these insights, we integrate the power of iconification into our educational infographics by transforming complex information into simple, striking visual symbols effectively distilling complexity into clarity. By harnessing our brain’s innate capacity to process visuals rapidly, we create compelling infographics that make information instantly accessible and memorable.
