“…There also was a discrepancy between the data obtained in the present study and those of Flock and Noguchi (1970). The constancy functions in their study were linear and positive, but their slopes did appear to covary with contrast ratio.…”

Four experiments were designed to investigate the nature of the relationship between brightness contrast and brightness constancy while controlling the response criterion, the area of the surround, the stimulus configuration, and the mode of appearance of the modulus target. Ten Os in each of the four experiments estimated the apparent whiteness or brightness of targets with different contrast ratios. All targets were viewed at several illumination levels. Most constancy (whiteness and brightness) functions displayed shallow slopes that reflected a good approximation to constancy. The functions within Experiments I, III, and IV were vertically displaced and parallel; those in Experiment II were vertically displaced and increased in slope. This suggests that decreasing the contrast ratio had no effect on the tendency towards constancy when the area of the surround was greater than that of the target but resulted in a decrease in constancy when the area of the surround was equal to that of the target.

“…There may be an analogous effect in vision. Light surfaces increase in brightness faster with increased illumination than do dark surfaces (Jameson & Hurvich, 1961;Flock & Noguchi, 1970), so that the apparent contrast of a scene increases with illumination.…”

“…However, the following argument could be made to suggest further that the strength of region segregation was not a single-valued function of the lightness differences of the squares. When the luminance of a background is greater than the luminance of a surface, the lightness of the surface is determined by the ratio of the surface luminance to the background luminance or to the average luminance of its background (Arend & Goldstein, 1987;Flock, 1970Flock, , 1971Flock & Noguchi, 1970;Gilchrist & Jacobson, 1989;Heinemann, 1989;Helson, 1964;Jacobson & Gilchrist, 1988). Further, perceived lightness may be taken to be, to a first approximation, a logarithmic function of the relative luminance of the surface to its background (Judd & Wyszecki, 1963).…”
