The exact change

Before

"Dual coding produces memory advantages not because two representations are better than one in some additive sense, but because the connections between verbal and imagistic representations form a richer, more interconnected memory structure. This structure is more resistant to forgetting and more accessible under varying retrieval conditions." -- Dr. Allan Paivio, Department of Psychology, University of Western Ontario

After

Dual coding produces memory advantages not because two representations are better than one in some additive sense, but because the connections between verbal and imagistic representations form a richer, more interconnected memory structure. This structure is more resistant to forgetting and more accessible under varying retrieval conditions.

Suggested change

Removed the fabricated attribution entirely, converting the claim to plain unattributed prose; retained the legitimate Paivio academic references (1971, 1986, and later collaborations) since they are real, correctly-cited foundational works on his genuine theory.

Why this is better

Removed an unverified quote attributed to Dr. Allan Paivio, a real cognitive psychologist who died in 2016, with no verifiable source (a posthumous fabrication pattern). Converted to unattributed prose; retained the legitimate Paivio references (1971, 1986, and later collaborations) unchanged since they are real, correctly-cited foundational works.
