The scoring artefact in the Farnsworth-Munsell 100-Hue test, arising from the grouping of the caps into four boxes, was investigated. The traditional method of scoring performed with the numbers of the anchor caps disregarded and the alternative scoring performed with the numbers of the anchor caps employed, were compared. For the traditional method of scoring, we revealed an increase of the error score of the outside (end-box) caps when the total error score was above 240. On the contrary for scoring performed with the numbers of the anchor caps employed, the difference between the error score of the outside caps and the average error per cap is not significant. To mitigate the end-box artefact and to improve the reliability of the Farnsworth-Munsell 100-Hue test, corrections to the traditional method of scoring are proposed.

D003117 Color Vision Defects Defects of color vision are mainly hereditary traits but can be secondary to acquired or developmental abnormalities in the CONES (RETINA). Severity of hereditary defects of color vision depends on the degree of mutation of the ROD OPSINS genes (on X CHROMOSOME and CHROMOSOME 3) that code the photopigments for red, green and blue.

D003118 Color Perception Mental processing of chromatic signals (COLOR VISION) from the eye by the VISUAL CORTEX where they are converted into symbolic representations. Color perception involves numerous neurons, and is influenced not only by the distribution of wavelengths from the viewed object, but also by its background color and brightness contrast at its boundary.
