Abstract
The purpose of the present investigation was to determine whether lingual vibrotactile magnitude production results were statistically equivalent between a group of 10 subjects (mean age = 21.1 years) who performed magnitude estimation followed by magnitude production and a group of 10 subjects (mean age = 19.9 years) who performed only magnitude production using the magnitude estimation numbers provided by the first group of subjects. Results showed statistical differences for magnitude production responses between the two groups. The data suggest that exposure to magnitude estimation procedure may have an influence on magnitude production results.
