type="cite">To add an anecdote to this discussion, when he was
about 3 years old my nonverbal son with autism tried to elicit
colour names, using his usual request for names method of triadic
joint attention [pointing and eye contact], and an interrogative
grunt. We misunderstood him and only supplied object names, to
his frustration. He gathered together several blocks, one of
which had a red side, pointing to them all in turn. When I said
'red block' he asked for many repetitions, then gathered all his
red toys together, and made a circling gesture to include them
all, using his request for information grunt. He reacted with
astonishment when I labelled one of them 'orange', a word he'd
only known to mean the fruit. He acquired 'red' in comprehension
that day, and quickly added 'yellow' and 'green'. By asking for
colour names insistently, within two weeks he had acquired 10
colour words and the generic 'colour'.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>He initially inquired about primary colour names, then went
into hue and shade territories of 'pinkish orange' and 'pale
blue'. This line of enquiry rapidly revealed parental dialectal
and perceptual differences between 'green' and 'blue', and in
neutrals such as 'beige', 'tan', and 'fawn' etc. His
acquisition of colour words occurred when he had 225 words in
his receptive lexicon, and 9 protowords and gestures.

Thanks for coming up with nice topic and
the discussion about acquisition of
naming of colours.</div>
<div> In India, we normally see children
of age 3 yrs and beyond start
comprehending more than 2 basic colours
and/ sorting colours as well. In my
opinion may be because of competitive
world and education system, many parents
try introducing colour and shape concept
by 2yrs of age. I have seen my niece
naming and sorting triangle, circle and
square with their respective colours (
blue, red, green) in which they were
painted when she was just two and half and
in an interview at the time of preschool/
KG admission was asked to name. Many
reputed schools now a days conduct an
informal parent child interview at the
time of admission and selection is based
on the performance.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> Teaching/ introducing color-shape
concept at the early childhood may vary in
education and attitude of parents, and
socioeconomic status,etc. I observed that
many mothers mostly from urban areas would
like to see the child to be brilliant / a
prodigy and they try to start introducing
alphabet, color, shapes, action words and
rhymes at very early age and if the child
is not learning it faster or having
difficulty they rush to pediatrician and
SLP's!</div>

I remember giving this information to my
daughter some years ago when her
daughter was about 18 months old. She
promptly taught my granddaughter to name
the color pink. She reliaby
discriminated pink and non-pink. I so
not remember what happened afterward! A
niece learned "yellow" as a first color
word at about three. For a long time all
color questions were answered with
"yellow"!<br>

dear colleagues,<br>
i am setting up an experiment in
which i want to use children's
naming of certain aspects of an
object as dependent variable.<br>
could someone by any chance tell
me at which age children are
able to reliably (!) name 3-6
basic colours? i kind-of
remember that it is surprisingly
late...<br>
<br>
thanks a lot indeed,<br>
