Seventeen active attention-problem elementary children were given copying tasks to determine whether they were more attracted to color stimulation than normal controls. Among other findings, results suggested that experimental children responded to tasks differently when color was used and that their performance was better with relevant color than…

Investigated use of overhead transparencies containing a sequence of diagrams to represent a three-dimensional structure at different stages during a rotation. Significant learning occurred among 120 Bahraini boys (aged 15-16) when the transparencies contained multi-colored diagrams which were exposed simultaneously or individually in a cumulative…

Presents results of a study of color-coded notation to teach music reading to instrumental students. Finds no clear evidence that color-coded notation enhances achievement on performing by memory, sight-reading, or note naming. Suggests that some students depended on the color-coding and were unable to read uncolored notation well. (DK)

Reports on an experiment where 64 elementary school students participated in reading, clapping, and vocalizing rhythms notated in color. Results after a 23-week treatment period revealed that the experimental group scored slightly higher reading both colored and uncolored notation than a control group. (MJP)

Describes a one-year high school course in applied chemistry and introductory art. Gives a course overview by art and chemistry topic. Discusses color, painting surfaces, clays and glazes, texture and line, jewelry making, photography, art history, and chemical hazards in art. (CW)

Discussion of the use of nonexamples as an effective strategy in teaching concepts focuses on a study of college students that explored the use of common errors to teach the procedure for color correction of color transparencies. Treatments for the experimental and control groups are described, and further research needs are indicated. (Author/LRW)
