Mr. W. K. Walton, instructor in
psychology, is perfecting an instru
ment called a chromopat hometor,
to measure the feeling value of col
ored advertising lights. He plans
to make use ol the new Neon signs
in his experiments, testing Hie psy
chological value of the varied col
ors, and lor testing the color pref
erence of rats and mice.
Last year he made extensive ex
periments with ordinary colored
bulbs and found that men and wo
men differ greatly in their color
preference.
In connection with this Dr. .1. P.
Guilford, also associate professor of
psychology, worked out the maihe
malical method for determining
the psychological value of these
colors. This method will be pub
lished in the Psychological Review
for November.
