Abstract
The effects of different stimulus contexts were studied by presenting different sets of numerals for judgment in terms of an absolute scale of numerical magnitude. Contrary to adaptation level theory, it was found that shifts in judgment were associated with shifts in either the midpoint or the median; the mean had little effect upon judgment. The data are interpreted as consistent with 2 different tendencies during judging: to divide the range into proportionate subranges and to use the alternative categories of judgment with proportionate frequencies. 15 refs.
