Biological components of colour preference in infancyAnna Franklin
Department of Psychology, University of Surrey, Guildford UK
Dev Sci 13:346-54. 2010..The findings provide a quantitative model of infant colour preference that summarizes variation in infant preference across hues...- Infant color preference for red is not selectively context specificAnna Franklin
Surrey Baby Lab, Department of Psychology, University of Surrey, Surrey, UK
Emotion 12:1155-60. 2012..s evolutionary hypothesis, which argues that an angry face merely removes infant color preference, potentially due to the perceptual characteristics of the angry face disrupting infants' encoding of color... 
Color term knowledge does not affect categorical perception of color in toddlersAnna Franklin
Department of Psychology, University of Surrey, Guildford, Surrey, GU2 7XH, UK
J Exp Child Psychol 90:114-41. 2005..These findings support universalistic models of color categorization and suggest that color term knowledge does not modify categorical perception, at least during the early stages of childhood...- Hemispheric asymmetries in categorical perception of orientation in infants and adultsAnna Franklin

Dev Sci 13:188-200. 2010..Theories to account for the reduction in chromatic discrimination in HFA are discussed, and findings are related to cortical models of perceptual processing in ASD... 
Lateralization of categorical perception of color changes with color term acquisitionA Franklin
Department of Psychology, University of Surrey, Guildford, Surrey GU2 5XH, United Kingdom
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 105:18221-5. 2008..The findings suggest that lateralization of color CP changes with color term acquisition, and provide evidence for the influence of language on the functional organization of the brain...- What can we learn from toddlers about categorical perception of color? Comments on Goldstein, Davidoff, and RobersonAnna Franklin
Department of Psychology, University of Surrey, Surrey GU2 5XH, UK
J Exp Child Psychol 102:239-45. 2009..Finally, we discuss the limitations of the approach taken by all of these investigations and discuss theoretical accounts of the origin and nature of color CP... - Color perception in children with autismAnna Franklin

School of Psychology, University of Surrey, UK
Brain Cogn 80:126-43. 2012..These findings provide new evidence for the involvement of cognitive mechanisms in acquired category effects and suggest that category effects of this kind can exist independent of early perceptual processes... - The relationship between color-object associations and color preference: further investigation of ecological valence theoryChloe Taylor
Department of Psychology, University of Surrey, Guildford, Surrey GU2 5XH, UK
Psychon Bull Rev 19:190-7. 2012..The findings identify constraints of EVT in its current form, but they also provide general support for the link between color preference and color-object associations... - Electrophysiological markers of categorical perception of color in 7-month old infantsAlexandra Clifford
Department of Psychology, University of Surrey, Guildford, Surrey, England, UK
Brain Cogn 71:165-72. 2009..The data are discussed in relation to the processes that underlie categorical responding in infancy, as well as the debate about the origin of color categories in language and cognition...
