Abstract

A recent study of lamp spectrum effects at mesopic levels employed side-by-side matching to investigate brightness. The results revealed an unexpected effect, identified here as a response contraction bias, normally only expected when judging individual stimuli. Response contraction bias causes subjective responses to be biased toward the middle of a response range. Although the bias is small its effect on brightness matching can be significant if the test procedure does not employ appropriate counterbalancing.
