Dear list,
Someone earlier requested information about research on graphic design:
Although it isn't quite research in the sense mean't in the query, two
books by Stephen Kosslyn, a cognitive neuroscientist with many works
on perception and mental imagery should be of value. They are the only
books I know of that anchor graphic design to psychological principles
(even though the focus is primarily on graph design).
I hope they are helpful. (Excuse this late reply.)
