Infant color vision: Temporal contrast sensitivity functions for chromatic (red/green) stimuli in 3-month-olds
In order to investigate the development of temporal contrast sensitivity functions (tCSFs) for chromatic (red/green) stimuli, we obtained chromatic contrast thresholds from 3-month-old infants and adults using behavioral techniques. Stimuli were moving or counterphase-reversing sinusoidal gratings of 0.25 c/deg. Five temporal frequencies were used: 0.7, 2.1, 5.6, 11 and 17 Hz (corresponding spe...
متن کاملInfant color vision: sharp chromatic edges are not required for chromatic discrimination in 4-month-olds
In our previous demonstrations of chromatic discrimination in infants, we have used test and surround fields of different chromaticities that abutted each other at sharp chromatic edges. In order to see whether sharp chromatic edges are necessary for infants to make chromatic discriminations, 16-week-old infants were tested with three stimulus configurations in which sharp chromatic edges were ...
متن کاملInfant luminance and chromatic contrast sensitivity: Optokinetic nystagmus data on 3-month-olds
Infant color vision is poor, and most psychophysical experiments agree that infant color vision emerges between ages 3 weeks and 3 months. Presumably, the color vision of infants is poor during the months immediately after it has emerged. We have tested two alternative explanations for the poor color vision of infants: (1) there is a special critical immaturity within the color pathways of infa...
متن کاملInfant temporal contrast sensitivity functions (tCSFs) mature earlier for luminance than for chromatic stimuli: evidence for precocious magnocellular development?
In order to investigate the development of luminance and chromatic temporal contrast sensitivity functions (tCSFs), we obtained chromatic and luminance contrast thresholds from individual 3- and 4-month old infants, and compared them to previously obtained functions in adults. Stimuli were moving sinusoidal gratings of 0.27 cyc/deg, presented at one of five temporal frequencies: 1.0, 2.1, 4.2, ...
متن کاملInfant Color Vision: Moving Tritan Stimuli do not Elicit Directionally Appropriate Eye Movements in 2- and 4-month-olds
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the capacity of infants to code the direction of motion of moving tritan-modulated gratings. Infant and adult subjects were tested with 0.2 c/d sinusoidal gratings moving at a speed of 20 deg/sec. Three conditions were tested: luminance-modulated gratings, tritan-modulated gratings, and luminance- vs tritan-modulated gratings superimposed and ...
