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)

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)

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)

A study was conducted to measure the degree to which groups of infants could generalize color across objects of different forms and sizes and generalize from across objects of different color and sizes and to see whether color or form would dominate in their generalizations. Ss were 8-13-month-old Caucasian infants. All tests had 16 Ss except the…

Study investigated the effect of the stimulus variables of value, chroma, and hue in relation to sex, intelligence, and dimensional attention of kindergarten children using two reward conditions. (Author)

Attempts to determine what effect, if any, a color's hue or value has on the elementary school child's perception of apparent weight. (Author/RK)

Describes a study of undergraduates that examined the effect of specific visual skills on academic achievement and on the achievement of different levels of educational objectives. Discusses color and learning objectives, considers computerized analysis of visual skills, presents results of statistical analyses, and suggests implications for…

The role of color used in graphics in facilitating recall of verbal material was studied in a follow-up to previous research on the use of a color code in graphics presentations. An analysis of variance for repeated measures was used to test the hypothesis that significant interactions and differences would occur. Independent variables manipulated…

A study was conducted to investigate the comprehensibility of microcomputer-generated color graphics that are displayed on monochromatic monitors. Subjects were 64 second, third, and fourth graders who were randomly assigned to one of two conditions. Children in the first treatment were asked to identify, on a monochrome monitor, a figure that was…

Investigates the influence of linguistic structure on non-linguistic cognition by comparing Russian and English behavior on tasks involving the color blue. Russians, who differentiate this region into "dark blue" and "light blue," were expected to separate blues more often than English subjects for whom the colors belong to one lexical category.…
