Hendee, Peter N.T. Wells, editors EDITION :2nd ed. PUBLISHER :New York : Springer, c1997. DESCRIPTION :xviii, 409 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. you may get some ideas. There is talk in it about visual field scanning and information processing. Though personally, I think any study that attempts to answer this question is doomed to fail. It would just be too difficult to operationalize all the constructs, many of which depend on individualistic factors. There's my 2 cents. Cheers, William ----------------------------Original message------------------\ I can recall, but not locate, survey reports which comment on how long the average art museum visitor spends in front of a painting in an exhibition. Can anyone with a better memory than mine help? Any studies on how long it takes to look at a whole picture would also be of interest. Many thanks Margaret J.
