The primary contribution of the Baca study was that it affirmed the broad scope of interests that are subsumed under
the visual literacy umbrella. The study also provided an organizational scheme for categorizing the constructs of the
field, but it did not identify all of the legs of Debes’s pseudopod. That is one objective of this chapter: to organize the
research of the field into the subfields of visual literacy. Such a framework will help to clarify the focus of future visual
literacy research and will aid future fledgling researchers to select an area for study.
