The relationship between age of onset of blindness and development of knowledge of color relations was examined with 16 college students who had been born totally blind, 16 who had been blinded totally at approximately 15 years of age, and 16 who had normal vision. Ss were asked to judge the similarities between color names, and judgments were…

The purpose of this study was to determine what effect, if any, color has on the young child's perception of apparent weight. (Author)

A study was conducted to determine if there was a relationship between the cognitive styles of learners and their ability to correctly identify previously seen pictorial materials presented in color or black and white. Fifty-three third and fourth grade students from the Pittsburgh Public School System served as subjects for the study. Testing…

Because young children disregard writing on the spine of a book, researchers chose to run a test on color preferences in books. In a library situation young children see most books from a spine-out angle; thus when allowed to select a book by themselves, the first characteristics noticed are size and color. This study is based on the hypothesis…

Four retroactive inhibition (RI) experiments involving the AB, AC (same stimuli, different responses) paradigm were conducted to determine whether learning the original list (OL) and the interpolated list (IL) under different color-context conditions (different) would reduce RI relative to learning both lists under the same context conditions…

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)

The technique of priming was used to study the nature of the mental representations generated by color names. (Editor)

By using a modified Color Meaning Test in which alternative evaluative criteria (animal type as well as animal color) are available, this study examines the hypothesis that children evaluate the color white as positive and the color black as negative. Results with primary school children suggest that the addition of other criteria decreases the…

Reports a series of experiments that give evidence for retention of information about color in very short-term visual memory, commonly termed "iconic memory". (Author)

Describes collagraph printmaking, which offers many opportunities for exploration of a diversity of materials to achieve exciting effects in print. (Editor/RK)

Two experiments investigated the effects of color coding sounds in Thai syllables on the acquisition of pronunciation responses and on transfer to syllables which are not color coded. (Author/DEP)

Provides a concise review of research and literature on the relationship between sex differences and art preference. (Editor)

Examined length of fixation time responses of neonates to pairs of red, blue, and green acetate stimuli. (Author)

Two different methods which minimize achromatic cues were used to test the ability of one-month-olds to discriminate gray from broadband blue. Test data imply an improvement between birth and one month of age in the discrimination of gray from broadband blue. Possible physiological changes underlying this improvement are discussed.
