About

iNSIGHT Color Vision Test

Features
Read full description

This is an adaptation of a common clinical test for color vision disorders. Students arrange colored discs then analyze the results to identify color vision deficiencies. Four color sets are available: Farnsworth, Farnsworth saturated, Lanthony, and Lanthony saturated. iNSIGHT is a curriculum supplement for experimental psychology, sensation and perception, vision science, and optometry lab classes. There are two different types of iNSIGHT apps: experiments and interactive demonstrations. Experiments are real psychophysical procedures (NOT simulations) that generate real data. Demonstrations illustrate a visual phenomenon and allow students to manipulate the effect. Each lab is complete with a quick-start guide, detailed instructions, background information, and one or more guided exercises. To see how iNSIGHT works, try the FREE iNSIGHT Color Mixing app. A printable PDF Student Guide that contains the exercises and other supporting materials, and a Teacher Guide are available at www.polyhedronlearning.com/see_apps_insight.html
