“…Table 4 shows that q increased with P . These results show that lightness assimilation occurred in the transparent disk, in agreement with previous findings (Koning, de Weert, & van Lier, 2008; Morinaga et al., 1962; Noguchi & Motoki, 1972). The effect of Q and the interaction were significant when R p was the dependent variable, and the effect of P and the interaction were significant when R q was the dependent variable, F (5, 75) = 8.2, F (15, 225) = 3.2, F (3, 45) = 57, and F (15, 225) = 3.5, p < .005, respectively.…”

“…This stronger effect is reflected in the best-fit value of w larger than 0.5. Individual differences in the ratings of transparency (Masin, 1984) and in the stability of stratification of overlapping transparent surfaces (Morinaga et al, 1962) have been reported before.…”

“…For x > z > y or x < z < y , Morinaga (1952) and Morinaga, Noguchi, and Ohishi (1962) alternatively proposed that the black rectangle increasingly tends to appear stratified on top of the white rectangle as the similarity of z with x relative to the similarity of x with y increases, and that the white rectangle increasingly tends to appear stratified on top of the black rectangle as the similarity of z with y relative to the similarity of x with y increases.…”

“…Morinaga's theory about the stratification of overlapping transparent surfaces has received repeated empirical support (Kozaki, 1974; Morinaga et al., 1962; Noguchi & Motoki, 1972; Oyama & Nakahara, 1960). The implications of Morinaga's theory about the transparency of overlapping surfaces have not yet been developed.…”

Information integration methodology was used to test Metelli's and Morinaga's theories of achromatic transparency. Stimuli were transparent achromatic disks on a background formed by two adjacent horizontal rectangles. The common border of these rectangles divided each disk in two halves. Let P and Q be the luminances of the left and right halves of a disk and let A and B be those of the left and right rectangles, respectively. Transparency is given by the ratio (P -Q)/(A -B) in Metelli's theory and is given by a weighted average of the ratios (P -Q)/(A -Q) and (P -Q)/(P -B) in Morinaga's theory. Participants rated the transparency of disks with A and B fixed and P and Q combined factorially. Morinaga's theory closely predicted the resulting pattern of curves and Metelli's theory predicted it incorrectly. Morinaga's theory could also account well for individual differences in the ratings of transparency. The results support the general idea that transparency depends on the integration of photometric luminance information rather than on the integration of perceived lightness information.Key words: transparency perception, information integration, individual differences.In everyday life we often see objects through transparent media. This fact raises two basic problems: that of quantifying the subjective visibility of objects seen through transparency and that of specifying the operations of integration of photometric luminance information that generate this visibility. Anderson's (1981Anderson's ( , 1982Anderson's ( , 1996Anderson's ( , 2008 information integration theory provides a solution for the problem of quantification and a methodology for the specification of integration operations. The present study used Anderson's information integration methodology to test Metelli's and Morinaga's theories of achromatic transparency.

“…1,2 Moreover, according to Morinaga et al, we see two surface colors, one behind the other in the filtered region. 3 Hering had denied the possibility of perceiving one color behind another and stated that the light reflected by two different colors and projected onto the same retinal region gives rise to one color, called fusion color. However, recovering the color of two surfaces from one set of strictly local cone excitations would seem to be intractable.…”

Perceptual transparency was measured in two experiments by using simulations of illuminated surfaces presented on a CRT monitor. In a two-alternative forced-choice paradigm, observers viewed two simulated Mondrians in temporal sequence. In one sequence the Mondrian was simulated to be partially covered by a transparent filter; in the other sequence the filter color over each Mondrian patch was modified. Observers were instructed to select the sequence containing a transparent filter. Observers' selections corresponded to sequences in which the cone-excitation ratios for each adjacent pair of Mondrian patches were approximately the same as the cone-excitation ratios for the pair of patches covered by a filter. The results suggest that cone-excitation ratios may be a cue for perceptual transparency.
