Arminta Neal wrote a bit about visitor behavior and attention spans in her
books; the title I specifically remember is Help! for the Small Museum but
the title of her other book I read escapes me.  She was writing
specifically about how long (or actually, how short) interpretive labels
should be for visitors to be able to absorb them.
