چکیده:
This study explores the influence of color on the learning experiences and cognitive development of children within educational settings. Recognized as potent psychological tools, colors can markedly affect children's emotions, behaviors, and cognitive abilities. The primary objective of this research is to examine the associations between color characteristics, learning environments, and children's memory performance, with a specific emphasis on color psychology.
Employing a descriptive and analytical research methodology, the study incorporates a quantitative approach. Data collection methods include questionnaires, interviews, observational studies, and extensive literature reviews. The collected data are analyzed using SPSS software, which reveals significant positive correlations between color usage, educational environments, and memory retention among children.
The findings suggest that careful selection of colors can significantly enhance children's concentration, reduce levels of stress, and improve their overall memory capabilities. Warm colors, such as red and yellow, have been found to stimulate energy and creativity, while cooler tones, like blue and green, are associated with increased calmness and focus. The main conclusion drawn from this study highlights the necessity of deliberate color design in educational spaces to foster children's learning and cognitive growth. This underscores the vital role that color psychology plays in the effective design of educational environments. The study's results also provide valuable insights for architects and educators aiming to develop more effective and stimulating learning spaces for children
