Higher order sequential effects in psychophysical judgments.
We found that the depth of sequential effects depends on the judgment task. An experiment with squares indicated that stimulus-response pairs up to two trials back were included in the judgment process when subjects were required to make category judgments of size, whereas only the immediately preceding event was incorporated when subjects were making magnitude estimations. In the case of categ...
متن کاملSequential phenomena in psychophysical judgments: A theoretical analysis
This paper deals with an analysis of psychophysical detection experiments designed to assess the limit of a human observer's level of sensitivity. A mathematical theory of the detection process is introduced that, in contrast to previous theories, provides an analysis of the sequential effects observed in psychophysical data. Two variations of the detection task are considered: information feed...
متن کاملSequential Effects and Memory in Category Judgments
The effects of previous stimuli on responses in an absolute judgment of loudnesses situation were investigated when feedback was and was not provided. Whether or not information feedback was provided, responses were assimilated to the value of the immediately previous stimulus in the series. The effects of stimuli more than one trial back in the sequence depend on the presence or absence of fee...
متن کاملSequential effects are not trivial context effects in psychophysical research
39 Psychophysical judgements depend on prior events. When the response to the stimulus is affected by both, stimuli presented and responses obtained on previous trials, we speak of sequential effects. Although many psychology textbooks point out to the importance of sequential effects, most of the studies simply neglect them. In Lockhead’s (1992) words, a common assumption in psychophysical sca...
متن کاملSequential effects in judgments of loudness.
A multiple regression analysis of sequential effects in magnitude estimation and absolute identification is presented as an alternative to the approach used by Lockhead and his students. The new analysis indicates that sequential effects do not extend over more than one trial. This is in agreement with the response ratio hypothesis. A more detailed multiple regression analysis of these sequenti...
