Visual learning and education for augmented reality environments

Studies on the neurosciences and the cog-nitive sciences have shown the existing in-terconnections between visual perception and cognition in the knowledge/interaction with the world. It is recognised in particular how the perception of the information in the multimedia format can improve the teach-ing-learning processes. With reference to the neuro-cognitive and cognitive aspects, I will focus my attention on visual learning, with particular regard to the use of aug-mented reality technologies. The present contribution aims specifically to identify the elements of tangency between visual edu-cational perspectives and the construction/use of augmented digital environments.
