The way that most children learn to perceive and process color information are based on playing games or interacting with their parents. However, their learning effects pertinent to color difference and color naming can be affected by environment, children-parent interaction style, and individual intelligence development. The purpose of this study is to explore research issues regarding young children’s color cognition, preference, and memory. By using puzzle games, the researchers observed how two year-old young children interacted with their parents. The relationship between color cognition and puzzle completion time was also investigated. The results generated form this study revealed that color does have both positive and negative influences on young children’s puzzle solving strategies. In addition, the interaction between young children and their parents also plays a crucial role in their cognitive color learning process. It is hoped that the results generated from this study can be beneficial to research pertinent to young children’s color and spatial learning processes in the future.
