Research has looked at the preference of young children, ages 7 months to 5 years, for small objects in different colors. The results showed that by the age of 2–2.5 years socially constructed gendered colors affects children's color preference, where girls prefer pink and boys avoid pink, but show no preference for other colors.

The students were tested by sight-reading two exercises from a chalkboard and clapping and vocalizing the rhythmic notation. One test was in colored rhythmic notation and the other was uncolored. The students performed the two exercises involving similar rhythms, with colored notation being applied randomly to either the first or second task. [3]
The test consists of two boards with pegs and several beads with different colors. The examiner (usually a clinical psychologist or a neuropsychologist) presents the examinee with problem-solving tasks: one board shows the goal arrangement of beads, and the other board is given to the examinee with the beads in a different configuration.
This is based on the idea that word processing is significantly faster than color processing. In a condition where there is a conflict regarding words and colors (e.g., Stroop test), if the task is to report the color, the word information arrives at the decision-making stage before the color information which presents processing confusion.
A block design test is a subtest on many IQ test batteries used as part of assessment of human intelligence. It is thought to tap spatial visualization ability and motor skill . The test-taker uses hand movements to rearrange blocks that have various color patterns on different sides to match a pattern.
The D-KEFS offers a comprehensive portrayal of individual's EF skills, and the complexity of these tasks make them sensitive to the detection of even mild brain damage. [ 3 ] In 2009, an abbreviated form of the D-KEFS was included in the Advanced Clinical Solutions (ACS) for the WAIS-IV and WMS-IV (published by Pearson/PsychCorp).
Parallel processing has been linked, by some experimental psychologists, to the stroop effect (resulting from the stroop test where there is a mismatch between the name of a color and the color that the word is written in). [5] In the stroop effect, an inability to attend to all stimuli is seen through people's selective attention. [6]
Color processing in the extended V4 occurs in millimeter-sized color modules called globs. [30] [31] This is the part of the brain in which color is first processed into the full range of hues found in color space. [37] [30] [31] Anatomical studies have shown that neurons in extended V4 provide input to the inferior temporal lobe. "IT" cortex ...
