Charlie,
The Software Productivity Consortium Ada 95 Quality and Style Guidelines
may provide some support for your argument, however I didn't notice any
studies cited.
The guideline for capitialization is to "make reserved words and other
elements of the program visually distinct from each other" and
recommends:
lowercase for all reserved words,
mixed case for all other identifiers, a capital letter beginning every
word separated by underscores, and
upper case for abbreviations and acronyms.
The bibliography in the back of the guidelines may get you to something
citing the study you're looking for.
The SPC Ada Guidelines can be found at:
