| Abstract | Digital flashcards are one of the most popular self-study computer-assisted vocabulary learning tools for beginners of Chinese as a foreign language. However, studies on the effects of this widely used learning tool are scarce. Introducing a new concept— referential stimulus—into the Dual Coding Theory (DCT) framework, this study ac-knowledges the existence of imagery text and textual image in addition to the conven-tional binary categorization of stimuli as either verbal or nonverbal and further hy-pothesizes their functions. The adapted DCT used in this study allowed us to better understand the findings from this and the earlier studies. In addition, a MANCOVA permitted a more thorough examination of effects of pronunciation and stroke order animation in digital flashcards on the memorization of the forms, pinyin, and defini-tions of the new Chinese words. Findings of this study have practical implications for development and applicability of computer-assisted language learning software. The authors conclude with a call for further research to examine the adapted DCT frame-work. |
