Abstract
On a visual backward masking task using color stimuli with an achromat ic patterned mask, we compared the masking performances of 3 Type I di abetics with those of 9 participants in a control group. Analysis indi cated that the diabetics show a marked decrement in performance with b lue stimuli and a lesser decrement with red stimuli. Suggestions for f urther theoretical and parametric studies are discussed.
