颜色概念关联影响认知和知觉的基本过程，包括物体识别和视觉推理。为了理解这些影响，有必要了解颜色概念关联是如何形成的。人们认为颜色概念的联想是通过经验习得的，但关于联想的形成是如何受到输入和认知因素的影响的问题仍然存在。为了解决这些问题，我们首先使用类别学习任务，让参与者接触到新概念（“Filk”和“Slub”外来物种）的颜色概念共同出现。然后，我们使用关联评级任务来评估颜色概念的关联。在外星人类别学习过程中，颜色是一个嘈杂的线索，形状是100%的类别归属诊断，因此参与者可以忽略颜色来完成任务。尽管如此，在外星人类别学习过程中，参与者对“看到”的颜色进行了系统的颜色概念联想，并将其推广到“看不见”的颜色，这是与看到颜色的颜色距离的函数（实验1）。联想的形成不仅取决于陌生类别学习过程中颜色-概念的共现，还取决于颜色类别的认知结构（例如，观察到的红色在多大程度上是典型的“红色”颜色类别）（实验2）。因此，环境和认知因素结合在一起，影响了从世界经验中形成的颜色概念联想。
Colour-concept associations influence fundamental processes in cognition and perception, including object recognition and visual reasoning. To understand these effects, it is necessary to understand how colour-concept associations are formed. It is assumed that colour-concept associations are learned through experiences, but questions remain concerning how association formation is influenced by properties of the input and cognitive factors. We addressed these questions by first exposing participants to colour-concept co-occurrences for novel concepts (“Filk” and “Slub” alien species) using a category learning task. We then assessed colour-concept associations using an association rating task. During alien category learning, colour was a noisy cue and shape was 100% diagnostic of category membership, so participants could ignore colour to complete the task. Nonetheless, participants learned systematic colour-concept associations for “seen” colours during alien category learning and generalized to “unseen” colours as a function of colour distance from the seen colours (Experiment 1). Association formation not only depended on colour-concept co-occurrences during alien category learning, but also on cognitive structure of colour categories (e.g., degree to which an observed red colour is typical of the colour category “red”) (Experiment 2). Thus, environmental and cognitive factors combine to influence colour-concept associations formed from experiences in the world.
