Description: In this task we aim to find what the best exemplars or “focal colours” of each basic colour term is in our field languages. This is an important part of the evidence we need in order to understand the colour data collected using 'The Language of Vision I: Colour' (https://hdl.handle.net/1839/aeadc92d-8110-4535-a340-e13b2fee0a42). This task consists of an experiment where participants pick out the best exemplar for the colour terms in their language. The goal is to establish language specific focal colours. PREREQUISITES: (i) Colour stimuli with focal colours; (ii) List of basic colour terms; (iii) establish the most frequent colour terms from the Colour naming task 2007 (https://hdl.handle.net/1839/aeadc92d-8110-4535-a340-e13b2fee0a42). NOTE: The stimulus materials are not yet available for distribution.
