Learning from visual representations is enhanced when learners appropriately integrate corresponding visual and verbal information. This study examined the effects of two methods of promoting integration, color coding and labeling, on learning about probabilistic reasoning from a table and text. Undergraduate students (N = 98) were randomly…

The present study was designed to explore age differences in the association of temperatures with specific colors, using as stimuli actual felt temperatures rather than the 'imagined' or ambient temperatures used in other studies. (Author)

The purpose of this study was to determine what effect, if any, color has on the young child's perception of apparent weight. (Author)

Four retroactive inhibition (RI) experiments involving the AB, AC (same stimuli, different responses) paradigm were conducted to determine whether learning the original list (OL) and the interpolated list (IL) under different color-context conditions (different) would reduce RI relative to learning both lists under the same context conditions…

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)

Four-year-old boys and girls initially named and matched by form more often than by color. Also, agreements involving form names and matches occurred more often than agreements involving color names and matches. (Authors)

This research attempts to determine whether or not a relationship exists between personality variables and frequency with which specific-colored targets are hit. Addresses the question of the relationship between color and personality and if it manifests itself in a reaction to color when a gross motor skill is performed. (Author/RK)

Color and form preferences of kindergarten, first and third grade Ss were tested using standard two-dimensional geometric forms. (Author)

Thirty chronic schizophrenics (15 process and 15 reactive) and 15 normal control speakers described colors displayed in three-chip sets containing a referent and two nonreferent colors. Concludes that poor communication accuracy in long-term schizophrenics results from failure to include a self-editing stage as a part of the communication process.…

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)

Study was designed to investigate the effects of color cues and of subject-employed strategies in the development of selective attention in a short-term memory task. (Authors)

Study sought to provide developmental data about the age at which a child will not only color the same object the same color in a reliable fashion, but will also use the correct color." (Author)

Attempts to bridge the gap between psychological theory and implementation, with specific reference to the learning of color concepts in an art education program. Focuses on curiosity as a potentially valuable motivational resource in the classroom. (Author/RK)

Ratings over five repeated measures and a two week follow-up indicated that color preferences shifted markedly, yielding the expected interaction. The racial implications of these findings are discussed. (Authors)
