__Question:__ Do People Remember Color or Black and White Images Better?

__Hypothesis:__ For my hypothesis, I predict color will be easier to remember because more people are adapted to color images rather then black and white.

__Methods/Procedures:__ The method that I used to carry out this project was first; enroll each individual in a quiet study to test. The subject was either placed in the color or black and white group, but not both. Once the picture group was selected, the person would have ten seconds to examine each picture. The pictures do not have titles placed on the same page, therefore I say the title aloud at the beginning of the ten seconds. Once we have gone through them we start over, them having ten seconds to say the title to me as fast as possible. If the title is said correctly a check mark is placed, with how long it took them, in the box under the letter of the picture. If the title is said incorrect, an ‘x’ is placed in the box under the letter of the picture. To minimize the risks, I did not include the subjects names except in the binder
