Two experiments investigated the effects of pre-receptoral absorption and levels of illumination on colour vision. Simulation filters approximating lens and macular pigment changes were constructed on the basis of previous investigations.
Experiment I investigated the effects of these filters on young, normal subject performance. Shifts were found in the direction of ageing populations but not as great as is required. Experiment II investigated the additional effect of reductions in illumination. The two experimental manipulations together account for senile decreases in discrimination at slightly higher levels than previously reported / Arts, Faculty of / Psychology, Department of / Graduate
