A Cognitive Approach to Instructional Techniques and Color Selection in Mapping.
Thomas M Perry · Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) · 1985
This thesis suggested that in the case of the isothermal map a good criterion for selection of a color scheme may be experience. The more universal the experience, the better. Map creators may benefit by exploring the nature of 'universal' experiences and noting their common attributes, which may be applied to the area of semiotics. As many of the relationships among the attributes as possible should be examined. The method if improvisation proposed by Suzuki and Orff would be a powerful tool in accomplishing this task.
