Lightness constancy and its link with cone contrast

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The link between chromatic constancy (compensation for hue and saturation shifts) and lightness constancy (compensation for a change in surface reflectance) was tested theoretically by computing cone contrasts and by asymmetric matching experiments. The effect of a thin achromatic line (a frame) around the test sample was tested empirically. When the samples were outlined by the frame, lightness constancy was increased and chromatic constancy reduced (p<0.001). Changes in luminance are more likely to be compensated when the luminance contrast edge around the test stimulus is disturbed as with the addition of an achromatic frame.
