Abstract

We describe and test predictions of a model of long-wavelength test sensitivity upon large, uniform backgrounds. The model explains changes in sensitivity in the red-green detection pathways strictly based upon losses of sensitivity in the receptors. We derive the prediction that field mixture data for field-mixtures of μ₁ (fixed) and an addend, μ₂, must follow the same shape on different intensities of the fixed background, μ₁. This prediction is not in good agreement with the measurements.
