Abstract:

Examined the effect of different levels of color and black/gray/white in visuals to facilitate student achievement of facts, concepts, and generalizations. Participants were 244 high school students in Puerto Rico. Results indicated a significant Intelligence-Quotient and learning-style effect on dependent measures and the color-coding effect functioned differently for different learning objectives. (Author/AEF)
