Discrimination of colors was studied using an instrumental learning paradigm in monkeys (Macaque rhesus) and fishes (Carpio cyprinus L.). The confusion matrices composed of probabilities of instrumental responses were treated by factor analysis. The spherical structure of perceptual color space revealed in both animals was similar to that in humans. The four eigenvectors constituting the four-dimensional Euclidean hypersphere correspond to "red-green," "blue-yellow," "brightness," and "darkness" neuronal channels.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
