Abstract
A color-coded system of training illiterate, mentally handicapped or dyslexic individuals in the performance of certain tasks includes specifying colors designating particular objects and the task or operation to be performed with the object bearing a particular color. Color-coded visual indicators such as flash cards may be used to teach the individual to associate the color with the object and the operation.
Claims20
A flash card for associating one of a plurality of different colors with one of a plurality of different objects and with at least one of a plurality of corresponding operations, comprising:
- a card having a front surface and a rear surface, said front surface including a representation of said object and a representation of said corresponding operation, said representation of said object and said representation of said operation being designated with the same color of said plurality of colors so that an individual may associate a particular one of the colors with a particular one of the objects as well as with a corresponding one of said operations to learn the proper object for performing a designated operation as well as a physical location in which said operations are to be performed.
The process of using a set of at least one flash card for the training of an individual in the use of at least one of a plurality of objects, each object being used in at least one of a plurality of distinct operations, the card having a front and a rear surface, said front surface including a representation of the object and a representation of the corresponding operation, the process comprising the steps of:
- identifying each of the representations of the distinct operations with a different one of a plurality of colors;
- designating each of the representatives of objects used in performing the respective one of the operations with said one of said colors which identifies the operation;
- and
- visually associating each of said colors with each of the corresponding operations and each of the corresponding objects.
A device for training an individual in the use of several objects, each such object being used in the performance of at least one of a plurality of distinct operations, said device comprising:
- a set of at least one card, said card including;
- means for identifying each of said distinct operations with a different one of a plurality of different colors,
- means for designating each of said object used in performing a respective one of said operations with the one of said colors which identifies said operation;
- and
- means for visually associating each of said colors with each of said corresponding objects, so that an individual may associate a particular one of said colors with a particular one of said objects, as well as with a corresponding one of said operations to learn the proper object for performing a designated operation, as well as the physical location in which said operations are to be performed.
A device of training an individual in the use of several different cleaning products, each such product designated for cleaning at least one of a plurality of surfaces, said device comprising:
- a set of at least one card, said set including;
- means for identifying each of the product with a different one of a plurality of different colors,
- means for designating each surface upon which said product is used with one of said colors which identifies said product, and
- means for associating each of said colors with each of said corresponding operation and with each of said corresponding surfaces.
