What are the disadvantages of pictorial aids?

Pictorial aids can sometimes oversimplify complex concepts, leading to misunderstandings or a lack of depth in understanding. They may also be culturally biased or misinterpreted, depending on the audience's background and experiences. Additionally, reliance on visual aids can detract from verbal communication and critical thinking skills, as learners may focus more on images than the accompanying information. Lastly, the quality and clarity of the visuals can vary, potentially causing confusion or distraction.
