Abstract We used a visible contrast metric developed by Ahumada and colleagues [1, 2] to predict behavioral data gathered in our lab [3]. We found that the metric, augmented with an empirically determined psychometric function provides a reasonable prediction of left‐right identification data, and should prove useful in characterizing the influence of target and background resolution on target identification in flight simulators.
