Some familiar objects have a typical color, such as the yellow of a banana. The presence of such objects in a scene is a potential cue to the scene illumination, since the light reflected from them should on average be consistent with their typical surface reflectance. Although there are many studies on how the identity of an object affects how its color is perceived, little is known about whether the presence of a familiar object in a scene helps the visual system stabilize the color appearance of other objects with respect to changes in illumination. We used a successive color matching procedure in three experiments designed to address this question. Across the experiments we studied a total of six subjects (two in Experiment 1, three in Experiment 2, and four in Experiment 3) with partial overlap of subjects between experiments. We compared measured color constancy across conditions in which a familiar object cue to the illuminant was available with conditions in which such a cue was not present. Overall, our results do not reveal a reliable improvement in color constancy with the addition of a familiar object to a scene. An analysis of the experimental power of our data suggests that if there is such an effect, it is small: less than approximately a change of 0.09 in a constancy index where an absence of constancy corresponds to an index value of 0 and perfect constancy corresponds to an index value of 1. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

没有可测量的熟悉的上下文对象对颜色恒常性的影响。

一些熟悉的物体具有典型的颜色，例如香蕉的黄色。场景中此类物体的存在是场景照明的潜在线索，因为从它们反射的光平均应与其典型的表面反射率一致。尽管有许多关于物体身份如何影响其颜色感知方式的研究，但对于场景中熟悉物体的存在是否有助于视觉系统稳定其他物体相对于光照变化的颜色外观知之甚少. 我们在旨在解决这个问题的三个实验中使用了连续的颜色匹配程序。在整个实验中，我们总共研究了六个受试者（实验 1 中的两个，实验 2 中的三个，实验 3 中的四个），实验之间的对象部分重叠。我们比较了在光源的熟悉对象提示可用的条件下与不存在此类提示的条件下测量的颜色恒常性。总的来说，我们的结果并没有揭示在场景中添加熟悉的物体后颜色稳定性的可靠改进。对我们数据的实验功效的分析表明，如果有这样的影响，它是很小的：在恒定性指数中小于大约 0.09 的变化，其中没有恒定性对应于 0 的指数值，而完美的恒定性对应于指数值为 1。 © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
