The extent and persistence of practice effects on serial performance in the Farnsworth‐Munsell 100‐Hue test (100‐Hue test) were evaluated in an experiment in which six subjects performed the 100‐Hue lest up to 17 times over six weeks, and then once more after 7 months. A practice effect occurred which was highly statistically significant for the group as a whole (P < 0.001) and for three individual subjects (P < 0.05). A practice effect was still evident 7 months after the last test performance. Error scores were reduced almost to zero after 5–10 retests so that it was unclear whether the effects of practice had disappeared or whether failure to improve further was a ‘floor effect’. As a control against a floor effect, a second experiment was performed in which subjects’performance was impaired by placing neutral density filters in from of their eyes (thus artificially raising their 100‐Hue error score) Under these conditions, error scores continued to fall and were halved after 17 tests (P < 0.03). It is concluded that practice has a large effect on 100‐Hue test performance which continues over many retests and for many months after testing.
