Texts, images, or education?

Do we understand stories better when we see them as images or as text? And what role do age and previous education play? A team led by Prof. Dr. Markus Huff, head of the Perception and Action lab, in cooperation with the Leibniz-Centre General Linguistics (ZAS) have published a new study showing that it is easier to understand stories told with images than stories that are only text-based. This finding held across all age groups and levels of previous education. The images could be particularly important for people with low reading and language levels.
