Color Defective Vision and the Recognition of Aviation Color Signal Light Flashes

Abstract

Subjects of varying type and degree of color deficiency were tested on a battery of color tests, including the American Optical H-R-R plates, the Dvorine plates, the Color Threshold Tester, the Farnsworth-Munsell 100-hue, the Farnsworth Panel D-15, the Titmus Vision Tester Color Plats, and an anomaloscope examination. Correlations with a practical test of the ability of subjects to discriminate aviation signal red, white, and green were obtained. The results generally indicated that the Farnsworth Lantern was a superior predictor of performance on the practical test.
