Picture Superiority Effect – pg. 152
• A picture is worth a thousand words– Is a video is worth a million?
• Pictures are generally more easily recognized and recalled
• Pictures and words together are even better

Example• Step 1: Tie a Starting Knot, then make the right end into a
"loop" by simply doubling it back onto itself. • Step 2: Take the left end and pass it around to the right,
going behind the right loop.• Step 3: Continue the left end around the right loop to end
up in front. • Step 4: Start to feed the left lace into the "hole" that has
just been made.• Step 5: With the left lace now through the "hole", grab
hold of both loops and start to pull the knot tight. • Step 6: Continue pulling on the loops until the knot is
firmly tied.

Immersion – pg. 112
• A state of mental focus so intense that awareness of the “real” world is lost…
• Perceptual and cognitive systems are challenged at near capacity, without be exceeded.
• Optimal immersive experiences involve both rich sensory experiences and rich cognitive engagement.
– Adapted from the theory of Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
