Subjects studied a list containing nouns presented one, two, three, or five times and then judged the presentation frequencies of these words. The number of adjective scales on which each noun was rated during the study phase was varied orthogonally with presentation frequency. Judged frequency increased reliably with increasing number of adjective scales, but the correlations between actual and judged frequencies did not increase monotonically with the number of adjective scales. The results were interpreted in terms of a bias introduced at the point when the subject assigns a frequency judgment to a body of information retrieved about a studied word. We conclude that varying the number of rating scales is not the same as varying the levels of processing.
