Abstract
1. 1|Children from 3 to 18 years of age were asked to estimate the magnitude of the warmth sensation evoked by a metal bar whose temperature ranged from 33 to 42°C. 2. 2|The exponent of the power function relating perceptual magnitude to stimulus magnitude was lower for children under 8 years of age (β ≍ 0.40) than for older childen (β ≍ 0.85). Exponents for brightness estimation were similar for all children. 3. 3|These results suggest a developmental change in the warmth sense during the first 8 years of life.
