Color Cognition Framework for Autistic Children Development

Abstract

Investigation on special education and treatment for individuals with a learning disability, such as autistic children, has long played a signifi cant role in many domains such as children developmental, psychoanalysis, and visual learning. At present, there are scanty investigations that have been made pertaining to color cognition for autistic children’s development. Literature has shown that autistic children were characterized by defi cits in certain aspects, but it is believed that they have a special talent in capitalizing on confi dence and self-determination, especially on color. Hence, our study plans to explore the visual color cognition for children with autism that will hypothetically support counselors and facilitators to create appropriate instrument and instructional programs to nurture their daily activity environment. A theoretical model for color categorization for autistic children’s development will be proposed. The next phase will be to validate the assimilation model planned via a cycle of hypothesis analysis, which leads to enhance the quality of life particularly on color cognition.
