Fifty-two subjects, both male and female, 18 to 62 years old, were asked to hold a metal bar maintained at different temperatures (33 degrees to 42 degrees C), and to estimate the magnitude of the resulting thermal sensation. On the average, the estimates were linearly related to the stimulus temperature, although most individual subjects either under- or overestimated middle-range values. Intersubject variability, which was twice as large as intrasubject variability, could not be accounted for by gender, age, or body-temperature differences.
52名年龄在18至62岁之间的男女受试者被要求握住一根保持在不同温度（33摄氏度至42摄氏度）的金属棒，并估计由此产生的热感觉的强度。平均而言，这些估计值与刺激温度呈线性相关，尽管大多数个体受试者要么低估要么高估了中间范围的值。受试者间的变异性是受试者内变异性的两倍，无法用性别、年龄或体温差异来解释。
