title: Chromatic aftereffects associated with a night vision goggle simulation.
abstract: A visual perception experiment was conducted to determine the chromatic aftereffects of viewing a yellow-green field that simulated the display of current night vision goggles. Six females and two males served as subjects in a color-naming procedure. Subjects sequentially viewed an adaptation field, which was either yellow-green or white, and small colored targets presented on a CRT display. The time required to name the color of the targets was found to be dependent on the color of the adaptation field, the color of the target, and the interaction of these two variables. It was recommended that the effects of attenuation of the luminance of the night vision goggles be studied, and that color cockpit displays be redundantly coded whenever possible.
