Abstract
"Eight groups of five Ss each judged seven sets of weights first by method of single stimuli and second after intervals of one or two weeks following either a very light or very heavy background or anchor stimulus. Two types of shifts in judgment due to introduction of the anchor stimuli were found . . ‥ It is shown that both classical contrast effects and paradoxical distance effects may be accounted for in terms of the adaptation-levels arising from interactions between series and background stimuli and between residuals from previous stimulation and present stimulation."
