People learn better from words and pictures when words are spoken, rather than printed.

Here's an example from Adobe .com.
When does entertaining become annoying?
How many times will you need to view the video before you can remember all the steps?
Better that boring old lists of instructions?
Instructions better 'cos you can print them out?

Very interesting and helpful article. I have a question about #4 -- the Modality Principle: People learn better from words and pictures when words are spoken, rather than printed.
I feel I learn even better when there the words are printed as well as spoken. I like some key words to be shown in text, at the same time they are spoken. Would that be in line with the principles, or contrary to the principles?
Thank you!
Laurie
