I made a statement to that effect in a post I believe to this list, but I
didn't have a study, just an intuition that reading patterns would be less
linear, and more in "blocks" or "quadrants:" Skim and scan would be the
operative technique here, I bleieve, but I, too, would appreciate any
studies.

I recently read something about a study of the skills needed for reading
online, somewhat different than those required for reading print. Does
anyone remember this, or can you direct me to any such study?

Thanks,
Marian
