Pictures are remembered better than words. They are more easily recognized , recalled and remembered than words. They have bigger effect on one's memory than words. For example, instructional materials and technical manuals that present textual information accompanied by supporting pictures enable information recall that is better than that produced by either the text or pictures alone.
