The color-word Stroop is a popular measure in psychological assessments. Evidence suggests that Stroop performance relies heavily on reading, an ability that improves over childhood. One way to influence reading proficiency is by orthographic manipulations. To determine the degree of interference posed by orthographic manipulations with development, in addition to standard color-Words (purple) ...

Given the tools and applications that are available today, we often communicate at any time and place, generating high volumes of social personal information. Visually representing such data may enable us to navigate and manage it in an effective manner. Color, due to its effectiveness in labeling and categorizing information, may highlight relevant data and further alleviate cognitive load ass...

Around 2% of males have red-green dichromacy, which is a genetic disorder of color vision where one type of cone photoreceptor is missing. Here we investigate the color preferences of dichromats. We aim (i) to establish whether the systematic and reliable color preferences of normal trichromatic observers (e.g., preference maximum at blue, minimum at yellow-green) are affected by dichromacy and...

Recently it has been claimed that some early Renaissance painters used concave mirrors to project real inverted images onto their supports (paper, canvas, oak panel, ...) which they then traced or painted over, and that this was a key source of an apparent increase in naturalism and realism in European painting around 1420. This bold theory makes implicit and explicit assumptions about the illu...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether access to color fundus photographs from a patient's previous visit would alter the recommendations rendered to a cohort with diabetic retinopathy. PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred sixty patients with diabetic retinopathy returning for a follow-up visit and who had color fundus photographs obtained at a previous visit were evaluated by trained retina specialists....

ARL 1 Abstract New visualization techniques for displaying power system data have been developed to aid operators in detecting and diagnosing faults within a process control situation. The integrated one-line diagram with color contour enhancement was examined as a visualization technique in this experiment. Over a series of trials, participants were required to detect power grid system failure...

Two experiments assessed effects of color preference and brand-logo familiarity on recall performance. Exp. 1 explored the color preferences, using a forced-choice technique, of 189 women and 63 men, Taiwanese college students ages 18 to 20 years (M = 19.4, SD = 1.5). The sequence of the three most preferred colors was white, light blue, and black and of the three least preferred colors was lig...

Phenotypic differences among individuals are often linked to differential survival and mating success. Quantifying the relative influence of genetic and environmental variation on phenotype allows evolutionary biologists to make predictions about the potential for a given trait to respond to selection and various aspects of environmental variation. In particular, the environment individuals exp...

Establishing customer trust in an online vendor possibly requires the provision of an environment in which customers can overcome their fear and reluctance about shopping transactions by forming trust and positive perceptions about the online vendor. This paper aims to study the impact of the colors of e-commerce websites, as an atmospheric variable of the interface, on customer trust. The effe...

Color interpolation identification using digital images has been shown to be a powerful tool for addressing a range of digital forensic questions. However, due to the existence of adversaries who have the incentive to counter the identification, it is necessary to understand how color interpolation identification performs against anti-forensic operations that intentionally manipulate identifica...
