The Influence of Pictorial Structures on Children's Ability to Classify Paintings: A Developmental Study Using Computer Manipulated Images (Form, Composition, Color)

Abstract

dc:description

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of pictorial structures, color, shape and composition, on the development of children's ability to classify paintings. Furthermore, it was expected that: (a) there would be a developmental trend from color to shape as the classification dimension; and (b) there would be no significant sex differences for the choice of classification dimensions within grade levels.
