An Experiment to Determine the Possibility of Red-Green Color Vision in the Dog
Abstract
The history of the study of color vision in comparative psychol- ogy has been, to a large extent, a development of methodological techniques as well as an accumulation of data concerning behavioral responses to color, Although the study of mammalian color vision has thus far proven inconclusive and incomplete, it does appear, from what has been reported, that there is no clear correlation between ability for color vision and the animal's position in the phylogenetic scale as judged by other criteria. While color vision has been fairly well established in lower forms, such as fishes, birds and reptiles, it has by no means been demonstrated that this ability is universally present in the mammalian series.
