Learning the names of colors changes which side of the brain we process color in our brains, according to a study funded by the National Science Foundation.
Infants process color in the right hemisphere of the brain, while adults perceive color on the left side of their hemisphere. The change in hemispheres occurs when toddlers learn the names of particular colors, Paul Kay of the department of linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley told the Associated Press.
Similar results have occured in experiments involving images of cats and dogs. Once children learned the names, the side of the brain that processed the thought changed.
