Dual-coding theory has been examined by Professor Allan Paivio, and related to literacy, visual [[mnemonics]], and idea generation.

Dual-coding theory is also used to explain and predict multimedia effects in human computer research in combination with other concepts such as split attention effect. When a graphic and brief text are juxtaposed, mental processing is often enhanced, and this has been used to develop a graphic organization technique by Robert Horn (Visual Language). Dual coding theory can be used and applied as a theory to improve graphics for communication, decision making, memory, and problem solving.
