Document Summary
Activity in the receptors, bipolar cells, and the horizontal cells visual. Theory that color vision depends on the relative rate of response on three types of cones. Theory that we perceive color in a system of paired opposites: red vs. green, yellow vs. blue, white vs. black. Negative afterimages: the experience of one color after the removal of another. Cerebral cortex compares the patterns of light coming from different parts of the retina and synthesizes a color perception for each area. 8% of mean, less than 1% of women. Cause: recessive gene on the x chromosome. Men: only have 1 x chromo-some, need just one gene to become red-green color deficient. Women: 2 x chromosomes, need 2 genes to have condition. Color constancy: the tendency of an object to appear nearly the same color under a variety of lighting conditions. The ear converts relatively weak sounds into more intense waves of pressure in the.
