summaryData obtained in an experiment on hue discrimination support the hypothesis that, contrary to a usual view, the relation of indiscriminability is not nontransitive. Interestingly, subjects’ performance suggested that they were sensitive to stimulus differences of which they were, in an important sense, unaware. This makes the phenomenology of their experience difficult to describe. I suggest several possibilities.
