颜色能影响孩子的智商,选择合适的颜色能提高学习效率。
People have been interested in colour and its effects for hundreds of years. More recently, research has turned to the question of how different colours can help students learn better.
Believe it or not, some colours can affect a child's IQ. For example, a simple black and white colour scheme may cause IQ to become low, while the good use of reds and oranges may raise it as much as 15 points. Be careful not to use too much, however; a little red is exciting, but too much makes people uncomfortable. Bright yellow is exciting to the brain, while the colour green is thought to encourage creativity.
Use blue and green to calm yourself. Blue, especially, can cause you to calm down. Something blue in a reading area, for example, may help you focus on what you are reading. But too much dark blue can make you sad, so use light blue on walls or large floor areas.
Children who had difficulty in reading improved their understanding when they put something grey or blue over their pages. Do not use bright colours here, as they become difficult to look at after a while.
However, use bright colours like red, orange and yellow for important points. These colours attract the eye and may help you notice details.
The same colour of the walls of a room do not help you focus on your studies, but make you slow in understanding. Colours, on the other hand, make the senses active and encourage learning. Use primary colours red, yellow and blue in a proper way. Then how do you make your choices of colour? It mainly depends on your space, the lighting and the function of the room.
