This research article explored the impact of using infographics on the acquisition and retention on the topic of schedules of reinforcement on university students. Two groups of psychology majors participated in the study. Both groups from the UNAM school. Half of the participants received a presentation of schedules of reinforcement based on infographics, whereas the display to the other half was without this educational tool. All students were testing two times: the first one was immediately after the presentation finished, while the second test was conducted one month later. No differences were reported during the first test. However, the students that received the presentation with infographics showed higher scores on the second test.

Keywords : infographic; visual literacy; retention; recollection.
