Different attentional resources modulate the gain mechanisms for color and luminance contrast
We used an interference paradigm to investigate whether attention is attribute-specific at early levels of visual processing. We show that the peripheral increment thresholds for luminance contrast deteriorate when the observer is currently performing another luminance (form or contrast) discrimination task in central view, but not when he or she is performing a color discrimination task. Simil...
متن کاملLuminance discrimination, color contrast, and multiple mechanisms
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of color contrast on luminance discrimination. Observers were required to indicate the more intense of two stimuli presented briefly in a surround. In some conditions the two stimuli were the same chromaticity as the surround, while in other conditions the stimuli differed in chromaticity from the surround. The luminance of the fixed test ...
متن کاملPsychophysics of reading. XI. Comparing color contrast and luminance contrast.
Text can be depicted by luminance contrast (i.e., differences in luminance between characters and background) or by color contrast (i.e., differences in chromaticity). We used a psychophysical method to measure the reading speeds of eight normal and ten low-vision subjects for text displayed on a color monitor. Reading speed was measured as a function of luminance contrast, color contrast (deri...
متن کاملLuminance and Contrast for Sign Legibility and Color Recognition
A laboratory study of sign legibility has shown that a contrast of between 30 and 50 percent is required to maintain 75th percentile legibility. Legibility distance increased gradually with greater contrast to about 80 percent; above a luminance ratio of 5 to 1, legibility did not increase greatly. As ambient levels increased, legibility distance increased linearly with the logarithm of either ...
متن کاملAttentional and oculomotor capture by onset, luminance and color singletons
In three experiments we investigated whether attentional and oculomotor capture occur only when object-defining abrupt onsets are used as distractors in a visual search task, or whether other salient stimuli also capture attention and the eyes even when they do not constitute new objects. The results showed that abrupt onsets (new objects) are especially effective in capturing attention and the...
