Abstract
This study investigates the influence of perceptual colour categorization on the development of conceptual colour space in 43 pre-school children as a function of language-age. Knowledge of the 11 basic colour terms identified by Berlin and Kay (1969) was assessed in comprehension and naming tasks. Children's ability to comprehend basic colour terms was assessed in a spoken word-to-colour matching task in which a target colour was presented with two distracters from either distant or adjacent perceptual colour categories. Children's ability to name basic colour sensations was measured in an explicit naming task. Results showed that children's comprehension of basic colour terms was influenced by the perceptual relationship between the target and distracter colours. Most importantly, at a language-age of 3 years and above, naming errors were more likely to be made to adjacent, rather than distant, perceptual colour categories. These results are consistent with the prediction that categorical colour perception influences the underlying structure of developing conceptual colour space during the period in which children acquire basic colour terms.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
