Demonstrations of color perception and the importance of contours

Journal/Book: Teach Psychol. 1997; 24: 10 Industrial Ave, Mahwah, NJ 07430-2262. Lawrence Erlbaum Assoc Inc. 267-268.

Abstract: A series of easily and inexpensively Produced demonstrations provides examples of color Perception after receptor cells have adapted to a stimulus. Visual Performance under these conditions reveals phenomena that theories of color vision must explain. Students report their impressions of visual stimuli, and a discussion of trichromatic and opponent-process theories follows. These phenomena generate a second series of demonstrations showing the importance of contour information for perception.
