Abstract
A single S was retested after an intervening period of 3 years using the method of numerical magnitude balance. The stimulus parameters were nearly identical in both experiments. The slope of the subjective magnitude function was the same at higher intensities. Near threshold, the curve was steeper, corresponding to results seen in the data of the two groups in which the individual served as a S.
