The authors tested this account by examining shift effects following errors and error compensation processes. The authors predicted that following a specific type of error, called task…

In unidimensional absolute identification tasks, participants identify stimuli that vary along a single dimension. Performance is surprisingly poor compared with discrimination of the same stimuli. Existing models assume that identification is achieved using long-term representations of absolute magnitudes. The authors propose an alternative…
