Stabilization of the retinal image of the boundary between a pair of red/green or yellow/blue stripes, but not their outer edges, results in the entire region being perceived simultaneously as both red/green or yellow/blue. This suggests that the percepts of reddish-green/yellowish-blue apparently are possible in corticocortical color vision…

Findings of some of the more recent research on the impact of color and lighting on the teaching-learning process. (Author/MLF)

Preschoolers were supplied with tokens and given an opportunity to "purchase" various items by recognizing the designated color and letter-sound information on each token. It was concluded that the token-exchange period itself can serve as an effective adjunct to classroom instruction, providing supplemental practice on troublesome…

Describes a study that aimed to examine the relationship between perceived skin color and self-esteem among Black third graders. Reports that self-esteem was found to be generally low among the children studied, but that skin color differences did not correlate with differences in self-esteem. (GC)

Presents a technical history of color microforms along with problems associated with their use, such as permanence and reading equipment. An analysis is then given of possible applications of color micropublishing, with a discussion of eight different categories of materials. (Author/CMV)

Discusses ways of increasing user satisfaction with visual materials on microform, including improvements in reading equipment, image quality, editorial techniques, and aesthetic considerations regarding design and presentation. (Author)

Modern principles of color applied to schools will greatly improve the scholastic performance of students. (Author/MLF)

In today's budget-conscious schools, a method for introducing students to multiple color block printing from only one block of linoleum or wood would seem to be prudent. This method was successful over a number of years with eighth- and ninth-grade students. (Author/RK)

Provides guidelines for developing a successful Web site. Among the topics are usefulness, including bookmarks, search engines, and organizational needs; change, including the need for periodic evaluation; appearance, including differences among browsers and use of color; organization of the site; and advertising.

A new analysis, based on the concept of the ideal observer in signal detection theory, is described. It allows: tracing of the flow of discrimination information through the initial physiological stages of visual processing for arbitrary spatio-chromatic stimuli, and measurement of the information content of said visual stimuli.

Administered to hyperactive second and third graders either black/white form of Matching Familiar Figures Test and one month later a colored version, or the reverse color order in a repeated crossover design. Found addition of nonrelevant color to this task normalized activity of hyperactive children such that group differences were observed only…

Explains the color change of the sky by using scattering with science history. Provides several diagrams in each case, such as daylight, twilight, just after sunset, setting sun, and earth's shadow. Presents a reference of three further reading materials. (YP)

Expectations concerning form and color in object label referencing of 80 children of 2-3 years were examined in 2 studies. Findings show that children as young as 2 expect form similarity to be a better guide than color similarity to the extension of object labels. (RJC)
