“…Although, Granzier and Gegenfurtner [14] reported a small improvement, neither Ling [15], nor Kanematsu and Brainard [16] identified such effect. Ling [17], as well as others [18][19][20] did however report an influence of the memory color on the perceived color of the familiar object itself, consistent with Hering's statement that "All objects that are already known to us from experience, or that we regard as familiar by their color, we see through the spectacles of memory color." [1].…”

Abstract:The effect of cross-regional or cross-cultural differences on color appearance ratings and memory colors of familiar objects was investigated in seven different countries/regions -Belgium, Hungary, Brazil, Colombia, Taiwan, China and Iran. In each region the familiar objects were presented on a calibrated monitor in over 100 different colors to a test panel of observers that were asked to rate the similarity of the presented object color with respect to what they thought the object looks like in reality (memory color). For each object and region the mean observer ratings were modeled by a bivariate Gaussian function. A statistical analysis showed significant (p < 0.001) differences between the region average observers and the global average observer obtained by pooling the data from all regions. However, the effect size of geographical region or culture was found to be small. In fact, the differences between the region average observers and the global average observer were found to of the same magnitude or smaller than the typical within region inter-observer variability. Thus, although statistical differences in color appearance ratings and memory between regions were found, regional impact is not likely to be of practical importance.

“…Duncker claimed that the expectancy that leaves are green and donkeys are gray supported Hering's (1964) claim that it is color memory that produces color constancy. Bruner et al (1951) replicated Duncker's findings by matching successive presentations of a color wheel to several shapes cut from the same gray piece of paper. The shapes (a tomato, tangerine, lemon, broiled lobster claw, carrot, banana, oval and elongated ellipse) were displayed on a blue-green background.…”

We offer an ecological (Gibsonian) alternative to cognitive (im)penetrability. Whereas Pylyshyn explains cognitive (im)penetrability by focusing solely on computations carried out by the nervous system, according to the ecological approach the perceiver as a knowing agent influences the entire animal-environmental system: in the determination of what constitutes the environment (affordances), what constitutes information, what information is detected and, thus, what is perceived.

“…The system proposed in Chapter 23 is now being investigated by this means. The problems of backcoupled systems referred to in (10) are probably also best referred to an actual physical model, although a certain amount of useful simulation can be performed in checking out the general theory before such a model is built. Problem (11) is also of this character.…”
