Conceptualization of Perceptual Attributes: A Special Case for Color?
Pitchford, Nicola J.; Mullen, Kathy T.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v80 n3 p289-314 Nov 2001
Compared the recognition, perceptual saliency, and naming of color to that of other perceptual object attributes in 2- to 5-year-olds as a function of language age. Found that although color was perceptually salient relative to other visual attributes, no selective impairment to color cognition was found relative to motion, form, and size. (Author/KB)
