Many studies have used color to study memory or cognition, assuming the color space is uniform. That work must be re-evaluated because the same distortions we observed in the color-matching data from monkeys are also apparent in the data collected in people. /END

Where do #color categories come from? It's a very old question. Color is a continuous parameter, yet we categorize it. Since ancient times, there have been 4 consensus "basic" color categories: red, yellow, green, & blue. Are these hard-wired in our brains? 1/

Data from the first year of our new approach to publishing!! In brief, we are still seeing the same quantity and caliber of papers. But the process feels much more constructive. For Editors, and for authors. Data: tinyurl.com/mrnmrayk Editorial: tinyurl.com/3kf256u6
