Does Color Effect Memory?

Yes color effects memory because bright colors draw more attention. For example have you ever seen a painting that has bright and dull colors, which colors do you pay more attention to. Your mind/brain has different segments per say. And they all have to work together so seeing a bright color  makes you want to look more then a dull color

Well I'm doing the exact same project and the color of text does affect a person's memory. Thats why commercials arent in black and white anymore. The people who commercials the commercials conducted an experiment and it turns out that people will remember the commercials more if the commercial was in color..so the color of text does affect a persons memory

The Effect of Color on Memory Retention of items on a List

I am doing the same one and I think color affects memory better

While I was in college the nursing students were told to use different colors to help them remember the answers to certain questions. So the answer to your question is yes, color can change your memory.

Yes it does,because black and white is dull and colour catches the eye! So we remember more things that our eye catches

I don't know test it your self...that a great idea for you

Yes it can and you can look at the science fair project about the effect of color on Memory Retention of items on a list. Hope it helps:

Yes but like with text if you print something colored you will remember it more if it was black and whit then you will remember it less hope that helped

I think it does because you are usually more interested in the text if it is colored it draws your attention... Haha

I am doing the same project and I don't know what to do either
reading this chat helped me a lot thanks

Color does effact memory because some colors will provoke strong memories.and bright colors draw lots of attition

I have a science project and I have to test if color effects memory..
I have to make a test what should I make it about...science, math, social studies??
Please help its due in two weeks and I have to test people now!

I disagree, I think black and white print is easier to remember. Seeing as most people read books in black and white, it would make sense that reading in black and white would be easier to remember. Also, color can also be harder to read sometimes. Especially if the color is a yellow. I've already tested my class, and the scores came out recently and I calculated the scores and black one. I too thought color would be easier to remember. For your hypothesis, you should usually be wrong because science is usually hard to predict its outcome. Good luck mate. :)
