The nested research consisted of a descriptive study of seniors' views on the functional use of color into which an effectiveness study on color cueing was embedded. The Model of Functional Color, based on Lawton and Nahemow's (1973) Ecological Theory of Aging, was developed first to provide an Environment-Behavior Studies framework for reviewing the relevant literature. The model identified general and specific gaps in knowledge and determined the nested approach. The broader aspect employed a questionnaire, semi-structured interview and written logs designed to increase information on the meaning of color to seniors, how it is linked to their performance, why it seems to mean more to some than to others and why these views vary across time. The specific component tested the effectiveness of one aspect of functional color, cueing, to enhance the ability of 30 women (mean age = 76) to use a novel transfer pole in their apartment and explored their acceptance of this strategy. Two experimental groups (n = 10/group) received a yellow cued pole in reverse order; a control group (n = 10) received a non-cued (grey) pole. A repeated measures ANOVA performed on outcomes of 4 performance and 3 subjective measures indicated that use of the device had a significant effect on function for all groups, as measured by subjective instruments. However, color cueing itself did not improve the participants' ability to transfer, even for those with low visual acuity ($<$Snellen 20/50). Nonetheless, trends in the quantitative data and content analysis of the descriptive data suggest that color may speed and reinforce learning for all seniors and facilitate function for a subset of individuals with low acuity (20/100) and a visual performance style. Results indicated that seniors were more willing to accept the use of strong color than previously thought, although color choice was associated with factors other than visual or physical need, such as familiarity with color, convenience and culture. The research was also used to corroborate aspects of Lawton and Nahemow's Ecological Theory of Aging. Overall, the study confirmed the complexity of the person/color interaction and the difficulty of investigating phenomena that fluctuate across time.Subjects--Topical Terms:
