Dual coding

Fast pass

Dual coding — triage and high-yield first passes. Store the same idea as words and as a picture — Paivio's two channels.

Dual coding — triage and high-yield first passes. For a fast pass, freeze new word-picture pairs two weeks out and only retire leeches and high-yield lists.

Scores here are relative ranks inside this atlas, not lab grades or official cut scores.

Weeks

  1. public outline → word-picture pairs

    Build word-picture pairs only for facts that can reappear as a name, number or list.

  2. High-yield first

    Put diagram labels into word-picture pairs before commentary.

  3. Daily due only

    If time is short, drop new word-picture pairs and pay the due queue. That is the pass, not a failure.

  4. Exile chronic fails

    Move chronic fails off infinite word-picture pairs and learn them as a one-page list.

  5. Freeze and retrieve

    Two weeks out, zero new word-picture pairs. Leftover minutes go to closed-book dumps.

  6. Eve light

    Do a short due pass of word-picture pairs, then sleep. Do not inflate the pile at 1 a.m.

Shortcuts

Triage

Educational atlas — not an official syllabus, medical advice, or leaked item bank. Dual coding: Keep the public outline in view and treat this page as method, not a leaked key.
