Focal Colour Terms: Element of Colour - Naming Among Children

Abstract

An examination of colour term saliency among children is provided in this paper. This discussion is organized around the notions of colour term development noted in the 1iterature and with experiments conducted by researchers in the distinction of colours by children. This review suggests that colour recognition, colour naming and that focal colours are cognitively recognized before hue colours, as a result of their saliency with respect to the colour spectrum.
