This document discusses using nonlinguistic representations to help students learn and remember information. It suggests that creating visuals and doing hands-on activities taps into students' natural visual processing abilities and provides better recall later. The document recommends strategies like graphic organizers, models, mental imagery, pictures, and kinesthetic activities to represent knowledge nonlinguistically. Research shows students who used these methods outperformed peers on tests of quadratic equations and foreign language vocabulary.

Chapter 5 – Nonlinguistic Representations Imagery and Action Creating new paths for memory and future connections
Nonlinguistic Representation:  Helps students represent knowledge as imagery  Taps students’ natural tendency for visual imagery processing  Helps construct meaning of relevant content and skills  Provides better capacity for recall later
The goal of the nonlinguistic strategy is to produce images of knowledge in students’ minds so they are better able to process, organize, and retrieve information from memory.
Positive Effect Size: 0.49 Average gain in achievement: 19 percentile points.
Research: Grade 11 students used interactive software with graphing calculator images to study quadratic equations. These students outperformed the control group on a standardized test.
More research: Foreign language students learned clothing-related vocabulary by participating in a fashion show, acting as both announcer and model. This kinesthetic activity helped those students outperform other students who participated in traditional activities such as completing worksheets and writing.
Five Recommendations for Classroom Practice…
1. Use graphic organizers
2. Make physical models
3. Generate mental pictures Please close your eyes…
4. Create pictures, illustrations, and pictographs
5. Engage in kinesthetic activities Give us your best example…
Text-based information will never go away, but imagery and offer additional paths into a learner’s permanent memory, and help make information available for future connections. action
