Dave Munger over at Cognitive Daily (a cognitive psychology blog) offers Reading graphs: How we do it, and what it tells us about making better ones. It’s actually about a study of how people “read” maps and explores what people look at in attempting to answer different questions. No surprise, they look at different things based on the question!
