2018 Chapter 2. Ensemble perception of colour Progress in Colour Studies: Cognition, language and beyond, MacDonald, Lindsay W., Carole P. Biggam and Galina V. Paramei (eds.), pp. 36–53 | Chapter
In order to rapidly get the gist of new scenes the brain must have mechanisms to process the large amount of visual information that enters the eye. Previous research has shown that observers can extract the average feature from briefly seen sets of multiple stimuli that vary along a certain… read more
2014 The case for infant colour categories Colour Studies: A broad spectrum, Anderson, Wendy, Carole P. Biggam, Carole Hough and Christian Kay (eds.), pp. 169–180 | Article
Over the last four decades, evidence has accumulated to suggest that infants parse the continuum of colour into discrete categories. For example, multiple studies suggest that infants’ recognition memory treats discriminably different colours from the same category as if they are equivalent (e.g.… read more
2011 Investigating the underlying mechanisms of categorical perception of colour using the event-related potential technique New Directions in Colour Studies, Biggam, Carole P., Carole Hough, Christian Kay and David R. Simmons (eds.), pp. 237–250 | Article
Categorical perception (CP) of colour is demonstrated by faster and more accurate discrimination of colours that cross a category boundary than equivalently spaced colours from the same colour category. Despite a plethora of behavioural research investigating the origin and nature of colour CP, the… read more
2011 Category training affects colour discrimination but only in the right visual field New Directions in Colour Studies, Biggam, Carole P., Carole Hough, Christian Kay and David R. Simmons (eds.), pp. 251–264 | Article
There is indirect evidence that categorical colour perception (better discrimination of colours from different categories than those from the same category). For instance, CP can be induced across a newly learned category boundary (Özgen & Davies 2002). Here we replicate and extend Özgen and… read more
2011 Colour and autism spectrum disorders New Directions in Colour Studies, Biggam, Carole P., Carole Hough, Christian Kay and David R. Simmons (eds.), pp. 281–292 | Article
There is converging evidence for atypical perception in those with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). This chapter reviews a series of studies that have initiated the investigation of colour perception in ASD. Research is reviewed that identifies effects of colour on reading speed, visual… read more
2006 Converging evidence for pre-linguistic colour categorization Progress in Colour Studies: Volume II. Psychological aspects, Pitchford, Nicola and Carole P. Biggam (eds.), pp. 101–119 | Article
