Abstract
Spatial frequency-contingent color aftereffects were induced by adaptation to a single color grating of a fixed spatial frequency (Experiment 1) or by alternate exposure to two different color gratings of two different spatial frequencies (Experiment 2). The test stimuli for both experiments consisted of gratings placed in two-dimensional pictorial arrays (Necker cube and corridor array) such that although the retinal spatial frequencies of the test gratings were identical, the perceived spatial frequencies were different due to implicit depth relations and size constancy. The results indicated that under these conditions the color aftereffects were contingent on perceived rather than retinal spatial frequency.
