Yes, we found that with training, the students not only increased in their visual representation of important information (using diagrams), but there was also a corresponding decrease in text representation. There was less duplication of representations after instruction, and more of the key points were represented (even when duplication was eliminated). (We conducted other analyses that we were not able to report within the 3-page limit of Abstract-only submissions.) Thanks again:)

I wondered whether the training of diagrams reduced redundancy in the text.
