Abstract
One of the first concerns in any investigation of color vision, physiological, or behavioral, is whether or not the organism in question shows evidence of being able to respond differentially to different spectral wavelengths. The wavelength discrimination function for humans has been repeatedly investigated by psychophysical procedures (13), but little systematic evidence is available on the way this discriminatory capacity depends on the various parameters of stimulus conditions and physiological state.
