title: Color perception and deafness: college-level comparisons.
abstract: The performance of three groups of college-level subjects, deaf students, normal-hearing students, and Art students, were compared on nine tests involving color perception and color-verbal materials including (a) Color-Form Sorting, (b) Color-Form Pointing, (c) Color-Word Meaning, (d) Color-Pair Preferences (N=3), and (e) Color-Word Interference (N=3). Color perception differences between the deaf and the hearing groups were not substantiated: deaf and hearing groups differed only on tests involving verbal materials. The Deaf differed more from the Art students than from the Hearing.
