Question
I am in seventh grade and doing a science fair project on how color affects people's ability to memorize text.  Do you know of any research done on the subject or where to look for relevant information?

Thanks for your help!  

Answer
Hi rachel
 I have not heard of a study involving color perception and memory so I typed in "color and memory" at google and found some references.  They may help you so go there.  Meanwhile I find your topic interesting.  When you decide upon your hypothesis let me know and I will help you with your experimental design.  Use my email. waltjh@sbcglobal.net
