In this paper, a replication of the color-constancy study of Arend and Reeves (1986) is reported, and an alternative method is presented that can be used for the study of higher order aspects of color constancy, such as memory, familiarity, and perceptual organization. Besides a simultaneous presentation of standard and test illuminants, we also carried out an experiment in which the illuminants were presented successively. The results were similar to Arend and Reeves's; however, in the object-matching condition of the successive experiment, we found an overestimation, instead of an underestimation, of the illuminant component. Because the results of matching experiments are difficult to interpret, mainly due to their sensitivity to instruction effects, we introduced another type of color-constancy task. In this task, subjects simply named the color of a simulated patch. It was found that, by applying such a task, a reliable measure of the degree of identification of object color can be obtained.
本文报道了对阿伦德和里夫斯（1986年）颜色恒常性研究的一项复制，并提出了一种可用于研究颜色恒常性高阶方面（如记忆、熟悉度和知觉组织）的替代方法。除了同时呈现标准光源和测试光源外，我们还进行了一项光源相继呈现的实验。结果与阿伦德和里夫斯的相似；然而，在相继实验的物体匹配条件下，我们发现光源成分被高估了，而不是低估。由于匹配实验的结果难以解释，主要是因为它们对指导效应敏感，我们引入了另一种颜色恒常性任务。在这个任务中，受试者只需说出一个模拟色块的颜色。结果发现，通过应用这样的任务，可以获得物体颜色识别程度的可靠测量。
