Symbolic comparisons of objects on color attributes. Paivio, A. & te Linde, J. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 6(4):652–661, 1980.
abstract   bibtex   
Investigated symbolic comparisons of object brightness and color in 2 experiments using words and outline drawings as stimuli. 87 college students participated. Both experiments yielded orderly symbolic distance effects. Contrary to prediction, no reliable picture advantages emerged. For color comparison, individual differences in word fluency and color memory predicted decision time with word stimuli. These results contrast sharply with those of previous comparison studies involving concrete dimensions. Results are discussed in terms of dual-coding theory and the role of verbal mechanisms in memory for object color. (24 ref) ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights reserved) ——————————————————————————–
