Why is visual learning effective?

Visual learning is highly effective because the brain processes images 60,000 times faster than text (3M Corporation research). Studies show visual learners retain 65% more information than text-only learners (Dual Coding Theory, Paivio 1991). Students using mind maps report 32% better retention compared to linear note-taking (Farrand et al., 2002). Spaced repetition combined with visual review can improve long-term retention by up to 200% (Cepeda et al., 2006).
