According to the Instructional Resource Center (IRC), the Impact of Visual Media on Learning: What the Research Says Report –

• We better remember information when it's represented and learned both visually and verbally. Linked verbal and visual information helps us make connections, understand relationships and recall related details.
• “We learn more, faster and retain it longer if we use image-rich curriculum.”
• “As human beings our brains are wired for images. 1
• We process pictures and images 60,000 times faster than text.” 1
Students recalled information better when it was presented in a visual form (Cowen, 1984; Baggett, 1979)
• “Visual Learning is about absorbing information from illustrations, photos, diagrams, graphs, symbols, icons and other visual models. It is about making sense of complex information quickly—literally able to comprehend ideas at a glance.” 3
• “People generally remember about twice as much when they see and hear something, than when they only see or hear it.” 2
• “Long before children can read—or even speak many words—they are able to assimilate visual information with ease.” 3
• “Visual Learning is a powerful teaching tool, both for kids who are natural visual/spatial learners, and for children with limited language proficiency. In fact, by using Visual Learning strategies, we can increase the learning potential of all children.” 3
• “Educators agree that visual learning is an essential part of teaching comprehension, thinking, and writing. Visual texts engage both hemispheres of the brain and translate easily across cultures, education levels and age groups.”4
