Critical color differences determined with a visual search task
Abstract
Response times were measured for a visual search task in which the observer was required to find a target that differed from distracting stimuli only in color. In the first experiment the search time was measured as a function of display density for both small and large color differences. With small color differences response time increased with display density, indicating a serial search, but with large color differences response time was constant, indicating a parallel search. In the second experiment the color difference required for parallel search was measured in eight different directions from the distracter chromaticity. These color differences were much larger than threshold color differences and were not well represented by the ellipse used to describe the threshold contour around a point in color space.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
