Abstract
This study examined the human shape’s effects on the visual working memory for color schemes in a recognition
task using event related potential (ERP). The experiment confirmed which parts condition (body region, geometric
figure) and layout condition (human, disordered) affected the color memory. Regardless of the parts condition,
color schemes with human layouts were more correctly memorized. Similarly, the P3 amplitude of ERP in the parietal
regions, which decreases with the memory load, were significantly larger in figures with human layouts, regardless of
the parts. These results suggest that the layout has a major impact on color scheme memory.
