Memory for Color

Familiar objects and memory color

“…Therefore, in most cases we compare colors that appear after a certain time lapse, which obliges us to use our memory, because we must match a color that is present with one that is remembered. Reviews can be found where both methods of color matching are studied and compared (Newhall et al, 1 Hamwi and Landis, 2 Uchikawa, 3 Pérez-Carpinell et al, 4 …”

Anti‐Atomism about Color Representation

“…Proponents of roughness need to give us a reason to think otherwise. 13 This isn't the end of the discussion. Proponents of the roughness response might insist that a state represents that p only if it provides one with a sufficiently high degree of confidence that p. In that case, the speedometer does not represent you as moving at exactly 60mph.…”

“…31 There's empirical support for this claim. Collins [8], Hamwi and Landis [13], and Perez et al [23] all demonstrate that we're worse at re-identifying colors after a delay. The best explanation is that we lose the ability to represent fine-grained relations to remembered objects.…”

Effect of purity on hue (Abney effect) in various conditions

“…Fortunately, most data indicate that such short-term memory has little or no significant effect on remembered hue. 14,15 It was required to find if these two temporal modes of observation (as defined above) give different results, particularly because the Bezold- Brucke effect has been reported to differ significantly between the two modes. 11,16…”
