Instructions for Differences in Darkness


Your task is to judge the difference in darkness between the two dot patterns. Each judgment is like a subtraction problem, judging the darkness on the left minus the darkness on the right. Use the following scale:
1= pattern on the RIGHT is very much darker than pattern on the LEFT
2= pattern on the RIGHT is much darker than pattern on the LEFT
3= pattern on the RIGHT is darker than pattern on the LEFT
4= pattern on the RIGHT is slightly darker than pattern on the LEFT
5= no Difference: the patterns are equally dark
6= pattern on the LEFT is slightly darker than pattern on the RIGHT
7= pattern on the LEFT is darker than pattern on the RIGHT
8= pattern on the LEFT is much darker than pattern on the RIGHT
9= pattern on the LEFT is very much darker than pattern on the RIGHT
