Abstract
Sjoberg, L. Sensation scales in the size‐weight illusion. Scand. J. Psychol., 1969, 10, 109–112.‐The subjects gave magnitude estimations of heaviness of a set of cylinders varying simultaneously in weight and height. The size‐weight illusion could be well described by a simple model assuming heaviness to be inversely proportional to a sensation scale of size and directly proportional to a sensation scale of weight. The scale parameters corresponding to weight were a positively accelerated function of weight while the corresponding function for size was negatively accelerated.Keywords
