Thinking about my investigation:

What do I know:
  • I know that T.V advertisements are always in colour so that gives me a bit of a clue, but do companies really know which is easier to REMEMBER?
  • I do know that you you react quicker to certain colours, but does that effect memory?

Possible questions that I would like to investigate:
  • Why do companies use bright colours for their advertisements? Is it just for presentation?
  • What part of the brain remembers and recognises colour? How do these parts function?
  • Which colour is easier to remember? (I am asking this question to find out what the results were, of other tests like mine.)

Great work, Jess! You've clearly thought about your experiment thoroughly. This will give very interesting results, I'm sure!
