The range-frequency theory is concerned with category judgments, like" good" and" bad," or" large,"" medium," and" small." A specific model derives the judgments from 2 basic assumptions:(a) The judge divides his psychological range into subranges whose relative sizes are independent of the stimulus conditions; and (b) he employs the alternative categories with equal frequency. The model uses judgments obtained when stimuli are presented with equal frequency to predict the judgments when stimuli are presented with unequal frequencies. These data are also used to evaluate the weighted-mean model for adaptation level. It is concluded that category judgments are more adequately explained by the range-frequency theory than by the theory of adaptation level.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
