“…We plan to explore ColourSpot's ability to classify protan and deutan CVD types by testing it in adults and older children against the anomaloscope. We aim that accurate diagnosis of CVD using ColourSpot from 4 years of age at the start of education will mitigate some of the negative impact of CVD on children's education and well-being (Grassivaro Gallo et al, 1998Gallo et al, , 2002Mehta et al, 2018;Suero et al, 2005;Thomas et al, 2018;Thuline, 1964). The ColourSpot app provides advice sheets on CVD, designed by Colour Blind Awareness, a non-profit organization to raise awareness of CVD (http://colourblindawareness.org), which aims to help parents and teachers adopt strategies to mitigate some of the potential negative effects of CVD on children.…”

“…It is important to detect CVD and identify how individuals can be supported, as it can significantly affect quality of life such as health, well-being and work (Barry et al, 2017;Chan et al, 2014;Cole, 2004Cole, , 2007Cumberland et al, 2005;Steward & Cole, 1989;Tagarelli et al, 2004). Ninety percent of adults with CVD encounter problems in their daily lives (Steward & Cole, 1989), while children with CVD are at risk of social, behavioral and emotional difficulties, and adverse educational outcomes (Grassivaro Gallo et al, 1998Gallo et al, , 2002Suero et al, 2005;Thomas et al, 2018;Thuline, 1964). Educational materials, especially those for young children, such as reading schemes or mathematics activities (Birch, 2001), typically rely on color as a learning tool (Rinaldi et al, 2020;Suero et al, 2005), which makes them less accessible for children with CVD.…”

ColourSpot, a novel gamified tablet-based test for accurate diagnosis of color vision deficiency in young children

There is a need for a straightforward, accessible and accurate pediatric test for color vision deficiency (CVD). We present and evaluate ColourSpot, a self-administered, gamified and color calibrated tablet-based app, which diagnoses CVD from age 4. Children tap colored targets with saturations that are altered adaptively along the three dichromatic confusion lines. Two cohorts (Total, N = 772; Discovery, N = 236; Validation, N = 536) of 4–7-year-old boys were screened using the Ishihara test for Unlettered Persons and the Neitz Test of Color Vision. ColourSpot was evaluated by testing any child who made an error on the Ishihara Unlettered test alongside a randomly selected control group who made no errors. Psychometric functions were fit to the data and “threshold ratios” were calculated as the ratio of tritan to protan or deutan thresholds. Based on the threshold ratios derived using an optimal fitting procedure that best categorized children in the discovery cohort, ColourSpot showed a sensitivity of 1.00 and a specificity of 0.97 for classifying CVD against the Ishihara Unlettered in the independent validation cohort. ColourSpot was also able to categorize individuals with ambiguous results on the Ishihara Unlettered. Compared to the Ishihara Unlettered, the Neitz Test generated an unacceptably high level of false positives. ColourSpot is an accurate test for CVD, which could be used by anyone to diagnose CVD in children from the start of their education. ColourSpot could also have a wider impact: its interface could be adapted for measuring other aspects of children’s visual performance.

“…Thus, Italian students with CVD and aged 10-15 years were found to present lower general school achievements, except for art, than their normal vision counterparts (Grassivaro Gallo, Oliva, Lantieri, & Viviani, 2002;Grassivaro Gallo, Panza, Viviani, & Lantieri, 1998). Similarly, colour vision deficient medical students enrolled in a histopathology course achieved a lower Learning and Individual Differences 21 (2011) …”

“…Another study found that 10% of exercises in math textbooks for 5-to 7-year-old Catalan children are inaccessible for observers with CVD (Torrents et al 2011). Grassivaro Gallo et al (2002) also found lower school achievement for CVD high school students compared to students without CVD.…”

Color is a pervasive feature of our psychological experience, having a role in many aspects of human mind and behavior such as basic vision, scene perception, object recognition, aesthetics, and communication. Understanding how humans encode, perceive, talk about, and use color has been a major interdisciplinary effort. Here, we present the current state of knowledge on how color perception and cognition develop. We cover the development of various aspects of the psychological experience of color, ranging from low-level color vision to perceptual mechanisms such as color constancy to phenomena such as color naming and color preference. We also identify neurodiversity in the development of color perception and cognition and implications for clinical and educational contexts. We discuss the theoretical implications of the research for understanding mature color perception and cognition, for identifying the principles of perceptual and cognitive development, and for fostering a broader debate in the psychological sciences. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Psychology, Volume 74 is January 2023. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.
