The Effect of Color on the Ability of Recall

This experiment was conducted by surveying ninety-six people, 48 males and 48 females, to complete a short survey. The survey asked them if they were color blind and whether they were male or female. They were then given five color cards (blue, green, pink, purple and yellow) and ordered the sample colors from their favorite to least favorite on a scale of 1-5.

In another study, five experiments were conducted to determine if coloring a single Stroop element reduced automaticity or slowed the processing of a color. The results demonstrated that indeed it slowed processing of congruent and neutral stimuli more than it slows processing of incongruent stimuli (Monahan, 2001).

Some documents that can be obtained include letters, articles, newspapers and clerical records. Archival documents that are acquired include census records, survey records and name lists. Several physical artifacts can be collected for example, tools and objects. Lastly participant observation involves the researcher actually participating and observing in the study (Yin, 1994; Stake, 1995).

What is the effect of ink color (cool, warm and black) on the memory of students? Humans, especially students, are always look for new ways to improve their memory. Memorization is an important strategy used by students in schools all around the world. When people with Alzheimer 's start to lose their memory they often go to extreme measures to preserve it. If there is a way that something as simple as color can make important information more retainable then we should use it to our advantage. If the effect of taking notes in pencil, warm colored ink, and cool colored ink is tested then, it is predicted that warm color will increase memory and number of correct answers from the worksheet in the most students. To test the hypothesis 5 students will complete a worksheet that they will complete using their assigned ink color. Following that they will complete a test based off of the worksheet and when they finish the results will be evaluated and compare it to the previous data. To determine raw data the total the number of questions answered correctly from each color group will be divided using the formula x/y, y being the number of total number of questions and x being the number answered correctly. The data collected during experimentation supported the hypothesis. The average number of questions answered correctly when the effect of color on memory was tested for the following groups was pencil with one, black with one, cool with one and warm with one.

In the last half century several theories have emerged with regard to the best model for human memory. In each of these models there was a specific way to help people recall words and

Materials and methods describe the resources used in the experiment and how it was performed. Reading the methods of previous studies enables scientists to repeat the experiment and collect their own data. This data can be used to support other’s findings.

Our experiment was performed in the Science and Technology build on the USCB Bluffton Campus on October 6th from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. In order to construct the study for this experiment, we divided the actual experiment work in order to be able to complete the study for all sixteen (16) subjects within the given time period available to accommodate the test subjects. The experiments was conducted in the hallway, during the process we tested three participants at a time. We constructed an informational form regarding gender, age, weight amount of exercise per week. The supplies needed were approximately 25 test participants for the class, informational form, a blood pressure reader, timer, 15 jumping jacks, three chairs, paper and pencil to record

This study used pictures to test the memories of the test groups. There were twelve pictures in each group with the eleventh picture varied between different

The encoded stimulus is richer for synesthetes compared to people without synesthesia. Also there is a performance advantage when the subjects recall the spoken or written words (Gross, Neargarder, Caldwell-Harris & Cronin-Golomb, 2011; Rothen & Ward, 2012). In Gross et al.’s (2011) study, they recruited nine color-graphemic synesthetes using a standardized neuropsychological measure that would trigger color-graphemic synesthesia for verbal tasks. One verbal test that they used was the Paired Verbal Associates test. For this test, participants were to learn eight pairs of standard shapes and nonsense shapes. Some trials had immediate recall or a 30-minute delay. In all trials, the synesthetic participants recalled the standard shape when presented with the nonsense shape. This test was altered to reduce potential differences between the participant’s synesthesia and the colors, by exchanging the colored squares with the line drawings of familiar shapes. A one-way ANOVA was conducted for each trial. It revealed that all synesthetes reached ceiling on trial 3 and 4 (M=5.0 +/- 1.7), while none of the control participants reached ceiling (M= 2.89 +/- 2.2). Their results were very similar to Rothen and Meier’s (2010) results. For the most part, their findings supported the cue-induced encoding/retrieval hypothesis. Significant results were elicited by the tests

The subjects refrained from caffeine, standardized diet, and standardized training for 48 hrs before the trials. For 24 hours before the trials, each subject was given a prepackaged standard diet. Exercise and food diaries were kept and checked for compliance.
