Abstract: | Ss lifted three weights in sequence with instructions to judge the average heaviness of the weights. In agreement with previous work, a recency effect was obtained, with the later weights having more influence on the judgment. In contrast to previous work, a discrepancy was found from predictions based on the hypothesis that the judgment was an average of the felt heavinesses of the weights. The discrepancy had the appearance of a response end-effect, and was eliminable by a scaling procedure based on functional measurement. |
