The influence of colour on cognition has a long and varied history in experimental psychology. Research areas include the influence of colour on; mate selection; food evaluation; mood; sporting prowess; and cognitive performance. However, few reliable colour based effects have emerged. This thesis examines a recently proposed effect in the domain of colour and cognitive performance; the "Red Achievement-Context Cognitive Effect" (RACE). This effect, proposed by Elliot et al., (2007), proposes that in an achievement context (i.e. one with a pass or fail outcome) red stimuli evoke avoidance motivation that, mediated through local processing, impedes cognitive ability. Although the RACE is recognised in the research literature and is underpinn...
