Mayer believed a combination of words and images worked best for learners because people process information visually and verbally. This is why adding images along with words, satisfies both of the main channels for learning.

This theory is rather new since the subject (talking heads in eLearning courses with videos) is fairly new in comparison to other instructional design learning concepts and theories. Studies are still being done on this subject.

After a series of studies and tests, Mayer's concluded that people do not necessarily learn more deeply from a multimedia lesson when the speaker’s image is added to the screen. There is not enough strong evidence to suggest that pairing the speakers image (or any human likeness) with words is significant enough to improve learning.
