Four experiments replicated findings that perceiving two terms in a unitary relationship facilitates their association. (Author/ML)

Describes an art activity in which sixth graders made mirror-image masks using only two primary colors and one secondary color. Students discussed the effect of color combinations and the use of masks in folk and modern cultures. (AM)

Sixteen studies from 1944 to 1974 are reviewed. The overall conclusion is that there is no marked difference in learning from color or black and white film or television. This may be due to the insensitivity of our instruments. (BD)

Attempts to define "creative categorization" using animal behavior and human perception as examples. (RK)

The test-retest reliability of colored filter testing in relation to two symptom levels of dyslexia was evaluated using a forced-choice test procedure. Two tests, separated by two weeks, were conducted with 41 participants (ages 15 to 17). Results indicated poor test-retest reliability. (Author/DB)

Tests the effects that many photographers believe color and complexity have on how people process the information in photographs. Finds that images with color and more complex elements were easier to remember, and that complexity did not result in more (reported) mental effort. (SR)

Concludes that a user-friendly format as well as color variation was of value in increasing survey response rates. Discusses implications.…

Studied the structure of color cures that allows the express recognition of scene gists in 3 experiments involving 60 college students. Taken together, results suggest that colored blobs at a coarse spatial scale concur with luminance cues to form the relevant spatial layout that mediates express scene recognition. (SLD)

The question of innateness, which naturally arises in respect of the method of category construction proposed by vantage theory, is notoriously difficult. Discusses some of the problems inherent in this type of issue, along with attendant assumptions. Then, turns to what might constitute possible grounding for vantage theory. (Author/VWL)
