The central tendency bias in color perception: Effects of internal and external noise (2014)
Journal Article
Olkkonen, M., McCarthy, P., & Allred, S. (2014). The central tendency bias in color perception: Effects of internal and external noise. Journal of Vision, 14(11), Article 5. https://doi.org/10.1167/14.11.5

Perceptual estimates can be biased by previously seen stimuli in delayed estimation tasks. These biases are often toward the mean of the whole stimulus set. Recently, we demonstrated such a central tendency bias in delayed color estimation. In the Ba...

Stimulus-specific variability in color working memory with delayed estimation (2014)
Journal Article
Bae, G., Olkkonen, M., Allred, S., Wilson, C., & Flombaum, J. (2014). Stimulus-specific variability in color working memory with delayed estimation. Journal of Vision, 14(4), Article 7. https://doi.org/10.1167/14.4.7

Working memory for color has been the central focus in an ongoing debate concerning the structure and limits of visual working memory. Within this area, the delayed estimation task has played a key role. An implicit assumption in color working memory...

Short-term memory affects color perception in context (2014)
Journal Article
Olkkonen, M., & Allred, S. (2014). Short-term memory affects color perception in context. PLoS ONE, 9(1), Article e86488. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0086488

Color-based object selection — for instance, looking for ripe tomatoes in the market — places demands on both perceptual and memory processes: it is necessary to form a stable perceptual estimate of surface color from a variable visual signal, as wel...

The effect of background and illumination on color identification of real, 3D objects (2013)
Journal Article
Allred, S., & Olkkonen, M. (2013). The effect of background and illumination on color identification of real, 3D objects. Frontiers in Psychology, 4, Article 821. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2013.00821

For the surface reflectance of an object to be a useful cue to object identity, judgments of its color should remain stable across changes in the object's environment. In 2D scenes, there is general consensus that color judgments are much more stable... Read More about The effect of background and illumination on color identification of real, 3D objects.
