On a visual backward masking task using color stimuli with an achromatic patterned mask, we compared the masking performances of 3 Type I diabetics with those of 9 participants in a control group. Analysis indicated that the diabetics show a marked decrement in performance with blue stimuli and a lesser decrement with red stimuli. Suggestions for further theoretical and parametric studies are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
