Test cross-population and cross-context transfer: Extension Ratios, Area, and Salience
RFR-3849CE2E — Test cross-population and cross-context transfer: Extension Ratios, Area, and Salience
Research opportunity
Test cross-population and cross-context transfer for the claims or recommendations in “Extension Ratios, Area, and Salience.”
Background
The originating artifact is accepted by the repository publishing inventory with status “computational-pilot-complete-human-study-pending.” Its Work completed section provides the immediate evidence boundary.
Evidence trace
- Origin document: content/projects/itten-color-contrasts/experiment-report/EX-ITTEN-001-extension-area-salience.md
- Section:
Work completed - Specific assumption challenged: The source's treatment in “Work completed” is sufficiently supported for its intended scope.
- Supporting evidence excerpt: “A deterministic full-factorial pipeline test crossed four area fractions, four luminance differences, three chroma differences, three positions, and two semantic priority levels: 288 modeled conditions. The proxy was intentionally explicit: area^0.62 × hypot(3.2ΔL, 1.7ΔC) × center-bias × semantic-priority . This tests…”
- Reason this opportunity exists: Whether the finding transfers across ability, age, expertise, culture, language, input method, and environmental context.
Unknowns
- Whether the finding transfers across ability, age, expertise, culture, language, input method, and environmental context.
Dependencies
Suggested REP and methodology
- Suggested REP:
REP-EX-ITTEN-001-TRANSFER - Methodology: Run a stratified multi-site study with accessibility-first recruitment and test measurement invariance and heterogeneous treatment effects.
- Expected outputs: Transfer dataset, subgroup estimates, accessibility audit, and context-specific guidance.
- Success criteria: The study distinguishes stable effects from subgroup/context interactions without treating absence of significance as equivalence.
- Recommended agent:
accessibility-research-agent - Estimated effort: Large
- Expected knowledge gained: Whether the finding transfers across ability, age, expertise, culture, language, input method, and environmental context.
