Abstract
The different hemifields in the retina are known to vary in photoreceptor density as well as in the number of photoreceptors converging onto one ganglion cell. The effect of these differences among the retinal hemifields at 10° retinal eccentricity was investigated using a color-naming procedure to derive perceptive field sizes for the hue terms of blue, green, yellow, and red. Color-naming data were obtained under two conditions: (1) after a bleach condition, chosen to minimize rod contribution, and (2) after
