Methods from the fields of linguistics, reading, and cognitive psychology were utilized in the development and pilot test of a photograph readability instrument. The instrument was designed to evaluate photographic illustrations in textbooks. It assesses the level of visual information processing for viewers of particular photographs in both initial perception and prolonged encoding phases. The initial phase gathers information on how a viewer perceives a photograph during an initial brief period, that is, at a first glance. The latter phase entails extended exposure to the photograph and endeavors to reveal how a viewer encodes information while being influenced by a caption. Data gathered from viewers were meant to be applied to local adoption decisions for a particular text and group of students.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Methods from the fields of linguistics, reading, and cognitive psychology were utilized in the development and pilot test of a photograph readability instrument. The instrument was designed to evaluate photographic illustrations in textbooks. It assesses the level of visual information processing for viewers of particular photographs in both initial perception and prolonged encoding phases. The initial phase gathers information on how a viewer perceives a photograph during an initial brief period, that is, at a first glance. The latter phase entails extended exposure to the photograph and endeavors to reveal how a viewer encodes information while being influenced by a caption. Data gathered from viewers were meant to be applied to local adoption decisions for a particular text and group of students.
520 $a First glance fixations were assessed by projecting photographs for 1/2 second, after which subjects drew what they could remember about this display and completed an affective questionnaire. Extended eye fixations were assessed by exposing subjects to the image with caption, and then a cognitive questionnaire was completed. Visual differences between images were displayed in the form of syntactic drawings, constructed from questionnaire data.
520 $a The instrument was edited by a panel of five media experts. The revised instrument was then pilot tested on two groups of 15 media students. One group of 15 students evaluated 15 photos from one text and the other group evaluated 15 photos from a competing text. Each student evaluated one photograph, using an in-depth questionnaire format. The pilot test results were presented to the same panel of media experts, for use in an adoption decision.
520 $a The panel concluded that the pilot results were useful in confirming subjective expert critique, but the complexity of gathering this information would be prohibitive for many adoption applications. The panel suggested that textbook publishers would have a more appropriate application for the instrument in the development of teachers guides and for developing creative visual thinking exercises.
