Learning happens by building mental schemas. When the content presents a lot of data to be consumed simultaneously, it competes for the learner’s attention and risks cognitive overload, possibly crashing the learning mechanism momentarily.
Infographics, such as bar graphs, pie charts, and timelines, are data visualization tools. These replicate our natural mental model of arranging information schematically, so all the pieces of information relate with each-other, strung by a single commonality, making comprehension better—300% better— and retention easier.
