Initially, a Quarter Note = 2 Eighth Notes.
Default 8
Then by adding a DOT, it means to add half of the Quarter Note’s initial value, adding 1 Eighth Note, totaling 3 Eighth Notes.
 
In the example below, the blue lines represent note durations.
 
QUARTER NOTES ARE HELD FOR 2 EIGHTH NOTES.
 
A DOTTED QUARTER NOTE IS HELD FOR 3 EIGHTH NOTES.
