The Use of Color Cues to Facilitate Discrimination Learning in Moderately Retarded Adults: A Pilot Study.

Haese, Julia B.

Occupational Therapy Journal of Research, v4 n2 p109-16 Apr 1984

The study demonstrated that such adults performed better in discrimination tasks with color coding as an aid to developing such living skills as food preparation. (SK)
