As stated at the Miriam-Webster Dictionary, memory is the power or process of

remembering what has been learned. It is the power or process of reproducing what has been
learned especially through associative mechanisms. This is the definition first coming into mind
as well as soon as the work memory is uttered. In this part the processes involving color on
memory will be stated. There are three main processes involving memory. These processes are
encoding, storage and recall. Slotnik (2009) stated that memory is thought to be a constructive
process reflecting the synthesis of features each of which are processed in the different cortical
regions. Other investigators have suggested that color plays a highly specialized role in some
image segmentation tasks. And at an introspective level color coding appears to be important for
the rapid identification and recognition of object (Wichmann, et. Al., 1995). It was discovered
that chromatic information facilitated object naming (Humphrey, et. Al., 1994). Chromatic
information meaning that it is related to the color perceived to have a greater than zero
saturation.
According to Mapelli and Behrmann (1997), the perceptual or surface color only aids
object recognition if shape cues areambiguous and that the color advantage is one of top-down
color knowledge, not sensory surface information under such circumstances. Object recognition
and identification of isolated objects might predominantly tap into a edge-based, structural object
recognition memory system (Wichmann, et. Al., 1995). Hanna and Remington (1996) found that
color is a part of memory representation, that color and form can be represented separately and
retrieved independently, and that the binding of color and form requires attention.The color and
the information are not automatically connected in memory rather, attention and active
processing are prerequisites for the encoding specificity effect (Martinez, et. Al., 2010).
