The Absolute Method (M1), the Method of Single Initial Standard (M2) and the Relative Method (M3) were used in lifted weight experiment. The materials used as stimuli in the experiment were hollow brass cylinders, 3cm. both in height and in diameter, each end of which were closed up. The Cylinders were weighted with solder, and plated with nickel. The stimuli were presented to the observer by means of revolving top-table which was regulated by the experimenter. In M2 and M3, the standard stimulus was 100 grams. In the three methods, the following variable stimulus series were used :
S1 79, 82, ........., 100, ........., 103, 106 gram
S2 85, 88, ........., 100, .........112, 115
S3 24, 97, ........., 100, ..........118, 121
The PSE's were calculated by tke modified constant method, and the following results have been obtained :
In the Method of Single Initial Standard, the presented constant stimulus does not play the function of the standard stimulus of comparison process, and the judgment given by the observers in response to the stimuli are those based on the used stimulus series, so that the method somewhat resembles the Absolute Method in its character.
2) It has been reascertained that in tbe Absolute Method tke judgments on the stimuli are formed on the basis of the used stimulus series.
3) In the Method of Single Initial Standard, also, the judgments on the stimuli are formed on the basis of the used stimulus series. Though statistically it may not be highly significant, the PS of the symmetrical stimulus series has shown middle value of the PSE and the PS of the other two methods. The fact shows that the constant stimulus presented first partly plays the function of the standard stimulus.
4) In the Relative Method, there also exist differences between PSE's of each stimulus series. The deviation of PSE of S1 from 100 grams is more remarkable than that of S3. This fact demands closer investigation.
5) The analysis of the PSE's of the symmetrical stimulus series (S2) in the three methods, indicates clearly that it is not adequate to explain the deviation of PS from the middle point of the used series by means of the sinking absolute series. It is pointed out that the phenomenon is caused by the special effect of the situation in which the stimuli organize a series (Serial effects).
