Development of the Structure of Color Categories

Mervis, Carolyn B.; And Others

Developmental Psychology, 11, 1, 54-60, Jan 75

Investigated two developmental implications: (1) that foci for color categories become established and stabilized earlier than boundaries, and (2) that focal judgments are always more stable than boundary judgments. Subjects were 20 kindergarteners, 40 third graders and 40 adults. (Author/SDH)
