Color constancy was examined in 9- and 20-week-old human infants under theoretically optimal conditions. Pairs of natural surfaces with complementary reflectance functions, illuminated with two different phases of sunlight, were simulated on a color monitor. The final sample of infants of each age included only those infants who showed the greatest evidence of habituation during the 8 familiarization trials. The 20-week-olds responded with increased attention only to simulated changes of surface reflectance and not to simulated changes of the illumination alone. However, 9-week-olds responded with increased attention to simulated changes either of the illuminant or of surface reflectance. Possible differences in spectral sensitivity between 9 and 20 weeks of age were considered and rejected as explanation for the age difference in color constancy.
