Color makes a difference: Two-dimensional object naming in literate and illiterate subjects

Abstract: Previous work has shown that illiterate subjects are better at naming two-dimensional representations of real objects when presented as colored photos as compared to black and white drawings. This raises the question if color or textural details selectively improve object recognition and naming in illiterate compared to literate subjects. In this study, we investigated whether the surface texture and/or color of objects is used to access stored object knowledge in illiterate subjects. A group of illiterate sub… Show more

“…In contrast to illiterate subjects, our dyslexic study population has at least theoretically practiced as much as normal readers on coding and decoding two-dimensional representations in terms of figurative and symbolic representations of objects, and thus it seems less likely that our results can be explained by an analogy with illiterate subjects. Note that in this case, dyslexics should have been different from normal readers on B&W drawings, as was the case for the illiterate and literate subjects studied by Reis, Faísca, Ingvar, and Petersson (2006).…”

“…In part B, the subgroup 66-80/AES showed longer times than the 66-80/HES in all trials (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12). The subgroup 66-80/AES showed longer times than the 50-65/AES in all trials (1-12) (p < 0.01 for all comparisons).…”

“…The initial pool of stimuli consisted of 220 photos of common objects. Some were selected from the Focus Multimedia CD Photo Library, some from the set of Reis and colleagues (Reis, Faísca, Ingvar, & Petersson, 2006), and some via an Internet image search using the Google search engine. An independent group of 30 participants named and rated the initial set of objects according to prototypicality, familiarity, visual ambiguity, visual complexity, and color diagnosticity.…”
