We examined different contrast metrics to scale visual latencies for suprathreshold stimuli modulated along tritan confusion lines. S-cone increments ('blue') and decrements ('yellow') were isolated along two different tritan confusion lines, each one having a different luminance value. Reaction times (RT) were evaluated as a function of the Weber contrast and the S-cone excitation ratio between the test stimulus and the background. RTs were described using a model that generalizes Piéron's law and incorporates the notion of threshold units and power law scaling. Our results show that RTs for S-cone increments and decrements equate better when using the S-cone excitation ratio. However, a single function did not describe all RT data. S-cone RTs are better described by separate functions. We conclude that S-cone increments and decrements do not scale in the same manner. Both Weber contrast and the S-cone excitation ratio are plausible metrics at isoluminance. The implications for the S-cone pathways are discussed. |
