How do babies see colour...The Surrey baby lab {england} was set up to investigate exactly this.With over 250 babies having visited so far,some very fascinating findings have been produced.Interestingly, it has been discoved that infants, at just 4 months old,can already categorise a range of colours...the aim of the current study is to find out which colours babies prefer and why.Babies are sat in front of a monitor and shown pairs of colours.A small camera records their viewing behaviour.Researchers can time how long babies look at each colour in the pair...Right now with Alasdair its powder blue....smile
