Abstract
"In order to investigate the effect of the size-weight illusion on the adaptation level, (N = 20) Ss made 25 judgments on Trial 1, rating on a nine-point comparative scale the weight of a series of five blocks against a standard which was identical in size and weight to the middle block. During Trials 2-6 the procedure was repeated with different standards of constant weight but of increasing volume. The results show a steady decrease of the adaptation level to a certain point, beyond which any further diminution in density of the standard did not have a significant effect."
