Color is a pervasive feature of our psychological experience, having a role in many aspects of human mind and behavior such as basic vision, scene perception, object recognition, aesthetics, and communication. Understanding how humans encode, perceive, talk about, and use color has been a major interdisciplinary effort. Here, we present the current state of knowledge on how color perception and cognition develop. We cover the development of various aspects of the psychological experience of color, ranging from low-level color vision to perceptual mechanisms such as color constancy to phenomena such as color naming and color preference. We also identify neurodiversity in the development of color perception and cognition and implications for clinical and educational contexts. We discuss the theoretical implications of the research for understanding mature color perception and cognition, for identifying the principles of perceptual and cognitive development, and for fostering a broader debate in the psychological sciences.

颜色感知和认知的发展


颜色是我们心理体验中普遍存在的特征，在人类心理和行为的许多方面都发挥着作用，例如基本视觉、场景感知、物体识别、美学和交流。了解人类如何编码、感知、谈论和使用颜色一直是一项重大的跨学科工作。在这里，我们介绍了有关颜色感知和认知如何发展的知识现状。我们涵盖了色彩心理体验各个方面的发展，从低级色觉到颜色恒定性等感知机制，再到颜色命名和颜色偏好等现象。我们还确定了颜色感知和认知发展中的神经多样性以及对临床和教育环境的影响。我们讨论了该研究对理解成熟颜色感知和认知、确定感知和认知发展原则以及促进心理科学中更广泛辩论的理论意义。
