Preferred term

perceptual development: color and contrast  

Definition

  • Spatial contrast is arguably the most fundamental variable in vision. It enables us, among other things, to discriminate figure from ground, to find the edges of objects so that those objects can be recognized by their shapes, to match regions in the two eyes to enable depth perception, and to segregate regions in the visual image that differ in texture.
