Changes in color appearance caused by perceptual grouping.

چکیده
How is chromatic induction affected by perceptual grouping? Chromatic induction has been studied extensively, as has grouping, but only a small number of experiments have connected them. Even fewer reports go beyond weakly controlled qualitative observations. We report here a new and substantial color shift caused by perceptual grouping: a shift in appearance due to chromatic induction in one part of the visual field occurs also in a separate region that belongs to the same group. The color appearance of a test square within various surrounds was measured by asymmetric matching. The test square was at the center of an "hourglass" structure formed by other elements in the surround. The test shifted in color appearance toward the appearance of these other elements, whose color was affected by local chromatic induction. Control experiments ruled out as explanations (1) direct chromatic induction from the other elements into the test area, and (2) the influence of background light occluded by introducing the elements forming the hourglass.

Perceptual Grouping and Change Detection Perceptual Grouping in Change Detection Perceptual Grouping and Change Detection
Detection of an item changing its location from one instance to another is typically unaffected by changes in the shape or color of contextual items. However, we demonstrate here that such location change detection is severely impaired if the elongated axes of contextual items change orientation, even though individual locations remain constant and even though the orientation was irrelevant to ...

This study used a novel approach to examine a much studied question, the nature of visual deficits caused by lesions of the inferotemporal cortex (IT). Unlike many previous studies of IT lesions, we de-emphasized early, non-specific disruptions of testing caused by the lesions, and instead concentrated on permanent changes in thresholds. This approach produced unexpected results that suggest a ...
متن کاملTime course of perceptual grouping by color.
Does perceptual grouping operate early or late in visual processing? One position is that the elements in perceptual layouts are grouped early in vision, by properties of the retinal image, before perceptual constancies have been determined. A second position is that perceptual grouping operates on a postconstancy representation, one that is available only after stereoscopic depth perception, l...
متن کاملColor categories and color appearance.
We examined categorical effects in color appearance in two tasks, which in part differed in the extent to which color naming was explicitly required for the response. In one, we measured the effects of color differences on perceptual grouping for hues that spanned the blue-green boundary, to test whether chromatic differences across the boundary were perceptually exaggerated. This task did not ...
