Abstract
"The following principal conclusions emerge from the present discussion: (a) The memory schema for coin sizes, while stretching out the total range and slightly exaggerating the differences between coins, preserves the correct order; (b) there is no evidence that this order is significantly disturbed by values and needs; (c) a memory schema, such as that for coin size, tends to resist correction by sensory contact with objects, contact serving as little more than a fleeting reminder, like a name; (d) departures from accurate size estimation which have been taken to favor the hypothesis that increase of value induces phenomenal magnification might better be interpreted as the result of the interference of expansive emotional states with meticulous adjustments." 18 references.Keywords
