Robert M. Yerkes

With colored cardboards inside the electric-boxes as well as at their entrances (see Figure 14 for position of cardboards) blue-orange tests were given to Nos. 2 and 3 until they discriminated perfectly.  The papers were Bradley’s blue tint No. 1 and orange.  Number 2 was perfect in the twelfth series (Table 17), No 3 in the fourteenth and again in the sixteenth.  They were then tested with a special brightness check series which was intended by the experimenter to reveal any dependence upon a possible brightness difference rather than upon the color difference of the boxes.
