颜色诊断在物体识别和表征中的作用在三个实验中进行了评估。在实验1a中，参与者命名与特定颜色强烈相关的图片对象（例如，南瓜和橙子）。刺激以一致的颜色、不一致的颜色或灰度呈现。结果表明，一致的颜色促进命名时间，不一致的颜色阻碍命名时间，灰色项目的命名时间位于一致和不一致的条件之间。实验1b使用验证任务复制实验1a。实验2采用了一种图片谜语范式，在这种范式中，参与者一次读一个词，其中包括颜色诊断对象的图片（即，图片被替换为关键名词）。结果表明，这些图片的“阅读”时间反映了实验1中发现的模式。在实验3中，尝试使用语言上下文（例如，一个南瓜被描述成涂成绿色）。语言背景并没有凌驾于颜色诊断。总的来说，结果表明，颜色信息经常被用于高度彩色诊断项目的对象识别和表示。
The role of color diagnosticity in object recognition and representation was assessed in three Experiments. In Experiment 1a, participants named pictured objects that were strongly associated with a particular color (e.g., pumpkin and orange). Stimuli were presented in a congruent color, incongruent color, or grayscale. Results indicated that congruent color facilitated naming time, incongruent color impeded naming time, and naming times for grayscale items were situated between the congruent and incongruent conditions. Experiment 1b replicated Experiment 1a using a verification task. Experiment 2 employed a picture rebus paradigm in which participants read sentences one word at a time that included pictures of color diagnostic objects (i.e., pictures were substituted for critical nouns). Results indicated that the "reading" times of these pictures mirrored the pattern found in Experiment 1. In Experiment 3, an attempt was made to override color diagnosticity using linguistic context (e.g., a pumpkin was described as painted green). Linguistic context did not override color diagnosticity. Collectively, the results demonstrate that color information is regularly utilized in object recognition and representation for highly color diagnostic items.
