Hi I don't know of any large studies, other than perhaps the DRC's formal investigation into website accessibility, which might have a section on this subject. However, I recently user tested a website with moving Flash images. The Flash contained text. My dyslexic participants couldn't actually read the text in the time permitted and also found the changing image distracting when viewing other sections of the page. KRs Allison Andy Mabbett <andy@pigsonthewi ng.org.uk> Action (To) Sent by: w3c-wai-ig@w3.org w3c-wai-ig-reques Information (cc) t@w3.org Subject Wanted: evidence of negative 24/05/2007 21:46 effects of moving images Further to accessibility discussions on Wikipedia < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28proposals%29#Avoid_movement_in_pages > I'm looking for evidence of people with disabilities who are caused problems by moving images. I know about rapid flashing a photo- sensitive epilepsy, but I'm looking for citations that people with cognitive disabilities, head injuries, dyslexia or whatever can be effected by moving (as opposed to rapidly flashing) images,.
