Abstract
The addition of a large weight to the forearm impairs weight discrimination by an amount which is small by Weber's Law but which could affect skilled tasks. When time is allowed for adaptation to the forearm weight, discrimination with the weight is improved and discrimination without the weight is impaired. Implications for pilots and astronauts under varying g are discussed.
