MOUNT LAUREL, N.J., August 10, 2010- “Color Lab” experiment conducted at the International Society for Technology in Education Conference supports theory that people retain more information with color images

OKI Data Americas, which markets its products under the OKI® Printing Solutions brand, conducted an informal “Color Lab” experiment at the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) to test the theory that color visuals help increase learning and retention.  The interactive presentation proved the theory to be true, as 100 percent of the experiments showed participants scored better with questions that pertained to the color images versus the black and white images.

Twenty-one “Color Lab” experiments were conducted over the three-day tradeshow at the OKI Printing Solutions booth. The booth attracted 290 show attendees to participate, ranging from teachers, administrators, IT practitioners and other education professionals. Three sets of color and black and white images were presented to each group followed by multiple choice questions pertaining to each image.  Each group received printed results from their experiment, emphasizing the positive impact color had on their learning retention.
