Document Summary

Study guide for the first examination (monday, 11 september 2010). Be able to answer the following questions and be familiar with the concepts involved in the answers. Review your homework and lab assignments and know the concepts included in them as well. Using the concepts in lab 1, draw a psychometric function illustrating discriminating dimmer and brighter lights from a standard light. Indicate on the graph how the discrimination threshold is defined. Let the distance between the two means be about 1. 5. Opposite responses are made to each color in a pair: within each of these opponent pairs, responses to one colour are inhibited (opposed) by those to the other colour. For example, responses to a red light are inhibited by those to a green one, and vice versa: hue-cancellation methods, on the basis of observations that while some pairs of colours can coexist in one sensation, others cannot.
