In Exp. I, 20 undergraduates lifted 3 weights in sequence under instructions to judge the heaviness of the last weight. Contrary to adaptation-level theory, these judgments failed to show a contrast effect; instead they showed a small positive context (assimilation) effect. In Exp. II, 40 undergraduates lifted 2 weights in sequence and then judged the heaviness of the 1st or the 2nd. Again, a small positive context effect was observed. A negative time-order effect was also obtained for homogeneous sequences, both of high and of low weights, also contrary to adaptation-level theory.(24 ref.)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
