I'm doing work on hypertext visual interfaces and I
would like to be able to prove what seems evident to me,
that is,  that people can scan information presented
in a visual image-based form FASTER than in a plain
textual form.

But having little psych or human factors background,  
I don't know of any references that I
could use,  or even where to begin looking.

Please send me some advice about sources for this
type of research
