Abstract

The capacity of young infants to discriminate 3 × 3° broadband red or 550 nm green squares from a 589 nm yellow surround was tested by means of the forced-choice preferential looking technique. All 3-month olds, about 34 of the 2-month olds, and just under half of the one-month-olds could make at least one of these discriminations. Taken together with other known properties of infant color vision, the failures of discrimination shown by the younger infants are more readily modeled as immaturities of neural processing than as an absence or anomaly of LWS or MWS cones.
