Abstract
USING SIZE AS THE RELEVANT VARIABLE, THIS EXPERIMENT EXTENDS THE D.R. THOMAS AND C.G. JONES (SEE 37:3) FINDING OF A CENTRAL TENDENCY EFFECT IN GENERALIZATION FROM A STANDARD TO A SERIES OF HUE STIMULI. 5 EXPERIMENTAL GROUPS WERE SHOWN THE SAME STANDARD SIZE SQUARE; THE DISTRIBUTIONS OF TEST STIMULI WERE SYMMETRIC ABOUT THE STANDARD FOR 1 GROUP AND ASYMMETRIC ABOUT THE STANDARD FOR THE OTHER 4. RESULTS SHOWED THE CENTRAL TENDENCY EFFECT WAS PRESENT WITH AN EVEN MORE RIGOROUS TEST THAN THAT USED BY THOMAS AND JONES, HENCE THEIR RESULTS WITH HUE WERE EXTENDED TO SIZE AS THE GENERALIZED VARIABLE.
