In terms of overall processing, to paraphrase John Medina in his book, Brain Rules (http://www.brainrules.net/vision): We process information through multiple senses, of which vision tends to trump the others. We are better able to remember something that is visual than oral, and even better at remembering when the visual and oral are combined. I hope this begins to address your question. Cheers, Laurie Hi SB,
