Rosch's work on color perception
Rosch's research on color perception explores how humans categorize colors across different cultures. She found that people tend to group colors into basic categories (like red, blue, green), which are universally recognized despite linguistic differences. These basic color categories are more salient and easier to remember, influencing how we perceive and communicate about colors. Her work suggests that our perception of color isn't just about physical wavelengths but also shaped by cognitive and cultural factors, with certain colors serving as fundamental building blocks for our understanding and language of the visual world.
