ideas for method...

There will be SIX COLOURS:
  •  red
  • orange
  • yellow
  • green
  • blue
  • purple
The person will be shown a flashcard with a series of NINE DIGITS 
and another with a series of NINE LETTERS
and another with a series of FIVE WORDS

Of course all the flash cards in its type will be the same though the characters shall be printed with different coloured ink.

I will probably set a time limit for the viewing of each flash card.

FIGURES
I will try and get 15 per colour... so that's 90 people altogether.
I CAN DO IT.

FINDINGS...

After reading many articles I have discovered that in some experiments involving colour and memory:

A. colour doesn't affect retention of words
B. coloured images are easier to remember than black and white images
C. data in warm colours are remembered more easily than that in cool colours...

HMMMM... these were the most common results in similar experiments.

CHANGE.

I have decided to change my topic due to it's invalidity...
COLOURS AND MEMORY.

Can different colours affect how well you remember words or numbers?
Could this be the solution to making the best summary for tests?
