Graphic displays such as charts, graphs, diagrams, and maps play in
important role today in the design and presentation of
instructional materials education. There is also a strong need in
scientific, technical and administrative fields to visually present
facts, laws, principles etc. The increasing use of computer-based
learning environments has also become an important field where the
visual presentation of information plays a central role. Despite
the importance of graphical displays as a means of communication
and the fact that research about learning and cognition has
advanced rapidly in the past two decades, the comprehension of
graphics is still a rather unexplored area.
The comprehension of graphics is not only a stimulating topic in
the fields of science and instructional psychology, but also in
related disciplines such as semiotics, and artificial intelligence.
Research on the comprehension of graphics complements the
scientific investigation of cognitive processes in text
comprehension, which has contributed much to our understanding of
human cognition and learning. Ultimately, a better understanding of
the cognitive processes involved in the comprehension of graphics
will have an impact not only on cognitive theory, but also on
educational practice.
