“…Overall, these studies suggest that the function of color in object recognition is not well understood and there is no agreement concerning its role in object naming/recognition. Furthermore, there are some evidence suggesting that, at a lower visual processing level, color helps to diVerentiate objects (Gegenfurtner & Rieger, 2000;Wurm, Legge, Isenberg, & Luebker, 1993). For example, very brief presentations of natural scenes are matched more accurately by subjects when shown in color than when shown as luminance-controlled grey-scale images, which indicates that color provides an important source of information in the pre-recognition stage of visual processing (Gegenfurtner & Rieger, 2000).…”
