Am. Geller, A table of color distance scores for quantitative scoring of the Lanthony Desaturate color vision test, NEUROTOX T, 23(3), 2001, pp. 265-267
The Lanthony Desaturate Panel D-15 (D-15d) color vision test is used in neu
rotoxicological testing to assess acquired color vision deficits. The origi
nal test design included a qualitative scoring method. Quantitative scoring
requires mapping the colored objects used in the test into a color space d
escribing perceptual distances. A table of these distances has previously b
een published for the saturated version of this color vision test, but not
the desaturate test. This communication includes a table of color distances
for the calculation of Bowman's Total Color Distance Score (TCDS) for the
D-15d. This table should be useful for non-computerized scoring under field
test conditions or for devising one's own computerized scoring methods usi
ng the tabulated color distances for a look-up table. Data analysis program
s using SAS or Matlab are available from the author. (C) 2001 Elsevier Scie
