The popularity of yellow goggles for outdoor activities has long been a paradox to visual scientists as previous tests of their effectiveness have failed to show any visual advantage. The achromatic/chromatic theory of color vision suggests a possible solution to the paradox which was tested by measuring reaction times to spatial frequencies of varying contrast. Reaction times were faster with yellow goggles than with luminance-matched neutrals under certain conditions. These conditions included frequencies in the middle of the range of human sensitivity and, specifically, the lower contrasts of these frequencies. The theoretical and practical applications of the results are discussed.
长期以来，黄色护目镜在户外活动中的流行一直令视觉科学家感到困惑，因为此前对其效果的测试未能显示出任何视觉优势。色觉的消色差/色差理论提出了一个可能解决这一困惑的办法，即通过测量对不同对比度空间频率的反应时间来进行测试。在某些条件下，佩戴黄色护目镜时的反应时间比佩戴亮度匹配的中性色护目镜时更快。这些条件包括人类敏感度范围内的中频，特别是这些频率的较低对比度。本文讨论了该结果的理论和实际应用。
