Eye movements were monitored to examine search efficiency and infer how color is mentally represented to guide search for multiple targets. Observers located a single color target very efficiently by fixating colors similar to the target. However, simultaneous search for 2 colors produced a dual-target cost. In addition, as the similarity between…

In 2 experiments, eye movements were examined during searches in which elements were grouped into four 9-item clusters. The target (a red or blue "T") was known in advance, and each cluster contained different numbers of target-color elements. Rather than color composition of a cluster invariantly guiding the order of search though…

The main objective of the present investigations was to determine whether or not young human infants see the physical spectrum in a categorical fashion as human adults and animals who possess color vision regularly do. (Author)

The technique of priming was used to study the nature of the mental representations generated by color names. (Editor)

Attempts to determine if imagination could replace physical color and pattern in adaptation stimuli known to produce orientation-specific color aftereffects. (Editor/RK)

This article is concerned with the perceptual load in searching for a number of kinds of target which are presented for a fixed, short period of time. The aim is to establish data which any acceptable model of human information processing will need to fit. (Author)
