The Color Test



Do Deaf people have a colorful mind or rely on visual cues?

Can you guess which 3 colors I'm thinking?

This is an experiment of how schemata - "mental file folders"
works. Whenever we need information, we review data from
our schemata, decide, and respond accordingly.

How we interpret our immediate observations is based
upon our previous learned experiences.

When it comes to prejudice or stereotyping, we often need
to replace our schemata with new information.

Ahh, no one here wants to play?

What was I supposed to bounce off of to get the guesses? :-)

Todos, a free t-shirt? Actually, to see if your answers match my working hypothesis. :)

Todos, ahh I realize I misunderstood your question. Simply, what colors comes up in mind when I asked you to guess my 3 selections. Like I explained in the vlog, you'll be thinking more than 3 colors during this process or perhaps not.

My working hypothesis is that viewers will choose the colors (visual cues) provided by the video. Some people reported to me that they did pick the last 3.
