The study referenced below asked the viewers when they were confident they saw a cyclist.
The study did not ask when they saw a potential road hazard/something to watch out for. Therefore they could see a bright shirt and think, well maybe it's a pedestrian or a construction worker, but not a cyclist. --However, practically speaking, it is important to note that they saw it and it is a potential hazard that they should not hit. The driver doesn't have to know it's a cyclist to know that you don't want to run into it! --Don't get the impression that a black shirt is as good as a fluorescent shirt because it didn't help you get recognized as a cyclist any better. That fluorescent shirt is going to tell the drivers don't run into me (whether it's a pedestrian, cyclist or construction worker!) much better than a black shirt, and this study didn't test for that.
