Abstract: | This study shows that when viewers watching an educational movie are presented simultaneously with information in two media-visual
and verbal /auditory, there is no competition fa resources. When encoding information in one medium, one is not hindered from
encoding information in the other; even when visual and linguistic information are presented sequentially, doubling study
time, the extraction of information is not increased. College students appear to be good dual media processors.
