The results of the experiment demonstrated that Down's syndrome children are equal to non-disabled children matched on mental age, in their ability to discriminate between colors. Both Down's syndrome and non-disabled children made errors of the same kind. Other undifferentiated mentally handicapped children are less consistent in their color…

Performance of hyperactive and control elementary children (total N=70) on a noncolored search task was compared with a color stimulation version. It was concluded that performance on search-attentional tasks is normalized for hyperactive Ss, by added color, but that gains wear off more rapidly for hyperactive Ss. (CL)

Color coated outdoor playing surfaces have created new interest in school recreation programs. (MLF)

Discusses the materials needed and steps involved in making color transparencies. (SB)

This paper reviews research findings related to color and how it affects perception and retention of information. From the literature it appears colors have varying degrees of value as cues or aids to memory of stimulus information and difference appears to exist between colors as they interact in informational materials.

This article contains "recommendations concerning lighting, staging, cameras, film, and sound recording" for color film production. (Editor/AK)

The use of a finger tracing test in clinic settings appears to offer only a modest indication of accuracy in determining the color vision of the preschooler. (CJ)

Described are a proposed set of television scanning standards and the advantages they offer. (LS)

Described is a new, low-cost color television tape player based on holography being developed by RCA. It appears likely to compete with CBS's Electronic Video Recording device (EVR). (LS)

Students with undetected color blindness can have problems with specific teaching methods and materials. The problem should be ruled out in children with suspected learning disabilities and taken into account in career counseling. Nine examples of simple classroom modifications are described. (CL)

Describes digital images of incunabula from the Library of the Vatican that are available over the Internet based on an actual exhibit that was displayed at the Library of Congress. Viewers, i.e., compression routines created to efficiently send color images, are explained; and other digital exhibits are described. (Contains three references.)…

It is argued that a reflectance channel that requires priority information is shown to be less plausible for the human visual system than J. L. Dannemiller (1989) argued. In the response, Dannemiller replies that lightness is not an illuminant invariant surface descriptor when daylight illuminant substitutions are considered. (SLD)

Three investigations and one main experiment examined whether children ages four to seven differentiate between the causal mechanisms appropriate for different conceptual domains. Results suggest that preschoolers prefer natural mechanisms for color inheritance in biological kinds and recognize the importance of human intentions in producing the…
