Cognitive style features of categorical color perception

Annotation

Credits. Author expresses gratitude to S. G. Romanov and I. A. Mikhailova for preparing the software and collecting the empiric material. The article presents the results of a study of categorical color perception in children with different cognitive styles. Diagnostic was carried out according to two styles: field dependence/ field independence and impulsiveness/reflectivity. The sample consisted of 59 children of primary school age 8–11 years old. The study of categorical effects of color perception was carried out in a computer version of the visual search task in the yellow-green and blue color ranges. The results showed that there was a strong relationship between the two cognitive styles. In all cases, there were categorical effects: the speed of within-category color discrimination was higher than the between-category one. In impulsive and field-dependent children, there was a tendency to faster, but less accurate execution compared to reflective and field-independent children. Differences in categorical effects were clearly manifested in children with different cognitive styles: the difference in the time for performing within- and between-category tasks was greater in reflective and field-independent children.
