Abstract

The wavelength discrimination threshold (Δλ) was measured with a successive comparison method, in which two stimuli of different wavelengths were presented in the left and right half of 2.2° or 2.7° bipartite field, respectively, with a certain stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA). The stimulus duration was kept constant at 110 msec. The Δλ value for five different wavelengths, 430, 470, 520, 570 and 610 nm, was found to be constant up to SOA= 60 msec and increased gradually till SOA= 190 msec. The wavelength discrimination functions with SOA of 0 and 550 msec were also obtained for 430 through 650 nm in 10 nm steps. At all wavelengths the values with SOA of 550 msec were about twice as large as those with SOA of 0 msec. The present results indicate that the wavelength discrimination deterioration is complete within a relatively short period of time.
