In the basic paradigm, a linear array of 6 colored lines was presented briefly, and 8 undergraduates decided which of 2 target lines was the leftmost or rightmost. The target lines appeared in all possible combinations of serial positions and RT was measured. Distance and semantic congruity effects were obtained as well as a bowed serial position function. The RT pattern resembled that observed in comparable studies with memorized linear orderings. In Exp II with 16 undergraduates, the serial position function was flattened when the background lines were homogeneously dissimilar to the target lines. Both a distance effect and bowed serial position functions were obtained when 4 additional Ss judged in Exp III which of 2 target lines was below a black bar cue. Results favor an analog positional discriminability model over a serial ends-inward scanning model. The positional discriminability model was proposed as a" core model" for the processes involved in judging relative order or magnitude in the domains of memory and perception.(57 ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
