In regards to the way we are color-coding the SignWriting symbols...it has nothing to do with meaning at all, so I don't think that the Stroop Effect will probably have anything to do with it - at least I hope not... We have been coloring "individual symbols" -It is pretty hard to compare this to written forms of spoken languages... You can see the color coding on this web page.... https://www.SignWriting.org/learn004.html Facial expressions are green. Movement symbols are red. Hands are blue. Contact symbols are pink. Punctuation is yellow. Arms and shoulders are black. And since they are only "pieces" of a sign, one sign is "multi-colored". This seems to help some beginning students. It brings focus to different areas of study - for example - you always know that Movement is red, so when you see eyegaze inside the facial circle, the eyegaze is a movement, and it is colored red, inside the green circle for the face....as you can see on this page: Eyegaze in color coding https://www.SignWriting.org/learn007.html And thanks for the document in the mail, Joe....it looks wonderful and I will be in touch about it :-) Valerie ;-) |
