Media-didactics have recently become more firmly grounded on cognitive theory, with an increasing concern for the internal processes of knowledge representation and acquisition. With this cognitive aspect in mind, an international group of researchers held a meeting in Tübingen, Federal Republic of Germany, to present and discuss the theoretical approaches to and empirical investigations of knowledge acquisition from text and pictures.

By means of language symbols and syntactic rules, an expository text objectives the author's knowledge concerning an area of reality (Ballstaedt, Mandl, Schnotz & Tergan, 1981; Britton & Black, 1985). In representational pictures, one can differentiate two kinds of pictures: (1) an illustration objectives an optical arrangement on a surface area, which corresponds to an area of reality in the relevant aspects of perception (Gibson, 1982).
