Investigating of Memory – Colours of Intellectually Disabled Children and Virtual Game Addict Students

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNPSE,volume 5889))

Abstract

We describe an investigation of memory colours. For this investigation Flash test software was developed. 75 observers used this test software in 4 groups: average elementary school children (aged: 8-9 years), intellectually disabled children (age: 9-15), virtual game addict university students (average age: 20) and university students who play with VR games rarely or never (average age: 20). In this pilot test we investigated the difference of memory colours of these 4 groups.
