1. In their discussion of the “Neuropsychology of Color Vision,” (2017, pp. 148-149) explained how Isaac Newton’s experiments led to the discovery that “white” light from the sun is composed of different wavelengths of light.
(a) What happened when the white light was passed through either prism that led to the discovery of the solar spectrum?
(b) What is the synonym for “complementary colors” and what did Maxwell discover about these colors?
(c) Define and explain the “Young-Helmholtz trichromatic theory.”
2. Critical thinking: With the invention of “psychophysics,” we learned that our everyday sensory observations can be overwhelmed so that our perceptions can be altered. Fancher & Rutherford (2017) discussed the contributions of the following pioneers to the field of psychophysics (pp. 157-159).
– Kant
– Helmholtz
– Fechner
– Weber
Opinion: Which ONE of these four pioneers made the most significant contribution to the field of “psychophysics”? Why? Carefully explain.
