In reality, things are more nuanced. Those classic whiteboard animations we\u2019ll explore today are still breaking records for effectiveness in business, education and marketing. And we\u2019re not afraid to say it: ever since AI burst through marketing\u2019s doors, windows (and yes, even the roof, basement and floorboards), whiteboard animation has grown more popular than ever.<\/p>\n<p>Why is this happening? What does it mean for the future of visual communication?<\/p>\n<p>What does this format offer that AI-driven alternatives lack? Let\u2019s start with our keywords:<\/p>\n<p><strong>EMPATHY, CULTURAL CONTEXT, ADAPTABILITY, MASTERFUL STORYTELLING, AUTHENTIC STYLE.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Animated explainer videos &#8211; to begin, a few sentences of theory and explanations<\/h2>\n<p>Engaging explainer videos is a broad term encompassing various styles of short films aimed at explaining a product, service, or concept in an engaging animated format.The process of creating explainer videos requires careful planning and attention to both technical and creative aspects.<\/p>\n<p>A good explainer video combines clear messaging with visually appealing elements that resonate with the target audience.<\/p>\n<p>These can include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/explainvisually.co\/en\/2d-animations\/\">2D animations <\/a>(characters, icons, infographics);<\/li>\n<li>3D animations;<\/li>\n<li>motion graphics;<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/explainvisually.co\/en\/whiteboard-animations\/\">whiteboard animation<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whiteboard animation is one of the explainer video styles, characterized by &#8220;live&#8221; drawing of illustrations on a white background, often accompanied by a voice-over. Other animation styles employ different graphic and narrative techniques.<\/p>\n<h2>Whiteboard animations by the numbers &#8211; here\u2019s why you should stick with the classics<\/h2>\n<p>Our new clients are often surprised by the impact of whiteboard animation and for good reason.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>Professor Richard Wiseman of the University of Hertfordshire found that whiteboard animations are rated 33% more entertaining than traditional \u201ctalking head\u201d videos, and viewers who watched a whiteboard animation were 66% more likely to share the content with others. <\/em><\/strong><em>[1]<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Another study among students revealed that:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>Those who learned via whiteboard animations achieved test scores 70% higher on average than a control group using standard PowerPoint presentations. <\/em><\/strong><em>[2]<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This isn\u2019t just a fluke, but I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll agree that numbers alone mean little. What truly matters is that whiteboard animations tap into fundamental principles of learning psychology. By combining visual and auditory elements, they significantly boost information retention in your audience. Curious how? Let\u2019s kick this article up a notch:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Allan Paivio\u2019s dual-coding theory offers the best explanation for this mechanism<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27752\" src=\"https:\/\/explainvisually.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/DUAL-CODING-THEORY-OF-ALLAN-PAIVIO.webp\" alt=\"4 Reasons your brain prefers whiteboard animation Allan Paivio\u2019s dual-coding theory\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/explainvisually.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/DUAL-CODING-THEORY-OF-ALLAN-PAIVIO.webp 1920w, https:\/\/explainvisually.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/DUAL-CODING-THEORY-OF-ALLAN-PAIVIO-1280x720.webp 1280w, https:\/\/explainvisually.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/DUAL-CODING-THEORY-OF-ALLAN-PAIVIO-980x551.webp 980w, https:\/\/explainvisually.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/DUAL-CODING-THEORY-OF-ALLAN-PAIVIO-480x270.webp 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1920px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>1. Dual processing<\/h4>\n<p>Our brain operates two independent information-processing channels:<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>the visuospatial sketchpad <\/em><\/strong>handles images, colours and motion;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>the phonological loop <\/em><\/strong>processes sounds, words and tone.<\/p>\n<p>By engaging both channels simultaneously, whiteboard animations enable multi-faceted encoding of the message, greatly easing later recall and comprehension of the information.<\/p>\n<h4>2. Enhanced retention<\/h4>\n<p>When information is encoded in both systems at once, the chances of remembering it soar. After three hours, we recall 80% of audio-visual content versus just 25% of audio-only content.<\/p>\n<h4>3. Long-term memory<\/h4>\n<p>Research shows that after three days the advantage of whiteboard animations becomes even more pronounced \u2013 information retention reaches 65%, while traditional formats (audio-only or static slides) retain at most 20% of the content.<\/p>\n<h4>4. Reduced cognitive load<\/h4>\n<p>Whiteboard animations align with Cognitive Load Theory, which states that our brain has a limited capacity for processing information at any one time. These animations address the issue elegantly.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than bombarding the viewer with all the data at once, they reveal content step by step, at a pace that allows for proper absorption. This way, working memory isn\u2019t overloaded, and the viewer can focus on understanding each element of the message before moving on to the next one.<\/p>\n<h2>By harnessing AI, you don\u2019t have to abandon the classics \u2013 combine the strengths of both worlds!<\/h2>\n<p>And you know what? You don\u2019t have to choose between tradition and innovation. From the outset, we\u2019ve made it clear: the greatest success comes to those companies that <strong>can maximise the potential of both approaches<\/strong>.
