Color discrimination across four life decades assessed by the Cambridge Colour Test

Abstract: Color discrimination was estimated using the Cambridge Colour Test (CCT) in 160 normal trichromats of four life decades, 20-59 years of age. For each age cohort, medians and tolerance limits of the CCT parameters are tabulated. Compared across the age cohorts (Kruskal-Wallis test), the Trivector test showed increases in the three vectors, Protan, Deutan, and Tritan, with advancing age; the Ellipses test revealed significant elongation of the major axes of all three ellipses but no changes in either the axis ra… Show more

“…Despite results reported in the literature that sensitivity to S-cone isolating stimuli declines with age [34][35][36] , we found no correlation between age and sensitivity. This was perhaps unsurprising because our population was of young adults aged 16-40, with a low mean age of 22.1 years.…”

“…This means that older children had lower thresholds. This is consistent with the findings of other studies that suggested that chromaticity discrimination is fully developed at the end of adolescence [30,31,38,39]. …”

“…After 11 staircase reversals, the program automatically calculated the threshold for that vector as the average of the chromaticities that corresponded to the last six reversals. The step size used in the staircase followed a dynamic rule (for more details on the CCT methodology, see Regan et al [29]; for the CCT norms, see Paramei [28-30]).…”

“…Differences in chromatic sensitivity thresholds measured with static test stimuli were observed between the age groups in four of six colour directions. This was expected, as chromatic sensitivity has been shown to decrease with age (Paramei, 2012;Paramei and Oakley, 2014). Similarly, for dynamic stimuli, the elderly participant group showed higher chromatic thresholds for the studied colour directions, as found in other studies (Barbur and RodriguezCarmona, 2015).…”
