I think most of us have thought of this at least once – if I’m looking at a “red” ball, why would I wonder if the other person is looking at the same thing as I look like?
However, “red” is just a name that we learn to call some frequency of light. The name of the color is not a sign of the same thing. We “see” it like this. This simply means that we are all taught to refer to whatever color we feel with this word.
It may be difficult to imagine how scientists even start to approach this old question, do not object to the answer.
But recently, behind the researchers A new study The PNA published in the scientific journal has tried – and they think they have come up with a response.
Researchers believe that we can more agree on how much color you think are more than you think
Scientists had a great idea. They decided Add childrenWhose participants had little understanding about the names of the colors.
His studies included three to 12 -year -olds and six to eighteen -year -olds. Researchers compared their impressions of color to adults. ‘
Every partner Asked to compare Nine different colors and classification for each other, how many matching on a four -point scale from “very different” to “very similar”.
The system that researchers chose does not trust words, which makes it suitable suitable for the little ones.
While “subtle changes” when people’s age happened, Researchers found “Contrary to traditional beliefs, the results revealed an amazing similarity in the structure of experiences in age and cultures in cultures.”
In other words, people have to face similar color impressions.
Does this prove that we certainly see the color like this?
No. This study has just been found The scale of the color of the people was the same in ages and cultures, it is not that similar colors have seen that they were definitely understood in the same way.
Although this is interesting and even hopeful, researchers themselves say more research is needed.
“Our studies open a wide range of ways to investigate children’s saplus experiences and illuminate the globalization and change of color experience.” They write.
Until then, my thoughts about my nightmare whether my pink will continue to be a pink …
