Comparative Study of the Information Developed from Messages Containing Picture and Text.

Ramirez Orellana, Elena

Instructional Science, v24 n5 p357-75 Sep 1996

Compares the information content in descriptions made by sixth grade students based on messages of text and picture, written and verbal, or written language alone. The semantic framework analyzes the importance of words and ideas in text and relationships between them. Found the written language to be more open to interpretation than verbal and iconic messages.
