Cím: Cognitive Colour
Absztrakt: Colour is usually defined as a color stimulus or as perceived
colour. But we can also define the concept of cognitive colour. The result
of the colour module of early visual processing is perceived colour with
its three continuous perceptual attributes: hue, colourfulness, and
brightness. After the early visual processing state, the colour perception
is classified into a (semantic) category if required by the visual task.
Cognitive colour means one from the discrete set of these categories. This
set may depend on the visual task, e.g. the set of eleven basic colours,
or the set of long-term memory colours of familiar objects. Cognitive
colour may be relevant in the following (visual) tasks: colour
categorization, colour coding, colour naming, Stroop effect, spatial
organization of coloured visual objects, visual search, colour memory.
