Classifying Color Materials: Children Are Less Holistic than Adults.

Ward, Thomas B.; Vela, Edward

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v42 n2 p273-302 Oct 1986

Describes two studies that demonstrate young children's perception of color materials differs from that of adults in two ways: (1) the stimulus dimensions of hue, chroma, and value appear to result in somewhat more separable perception for young children than for adults, and (2) the perceived similarities the color materials are not the same for the two age groups.
