Colors

Colors have a great impact on our ability to concentrate and memorize. They can significantly modify our mood, transmit emotions such as calm, tranquility, passion, among others. That is why studies have been carried out for years with the aim of taking advantage of their potential as an effective method to improve the performance of students.

From the above mentioned, this technique arises, which is in the classification of support techniques, that is, it is a complementary technique focused on improving the student's performance.

Below we will review the basic aspects that characterize it, so that you can incorporate it into your study sessions.

What does it consist of?

The color support technique has a wide range of applications. It is based on the thesis that we can take advantage of the accumulation of sensations and messages that each color transmits in an effective way to improve the performance during our study days.

Colors are studied from many sciences, there are not few studies that have been carried out from marketing, design, architecture, photography and various branches of art.
