The role of perception, language, and preference in the developmental acquisition of basic color terms

Article Abstract:

The extent to which perception, language, and color preference might influence color conceptualization is investigated. The results suggest that though perception does not directly shape young children's color term acquisition, they prefer brown and gray significantly less than basic colors which occasionally appear in child-directed speech, linking color preference, linguistic input and developing color cognition.
