Weight and mass as psychophysical attributes
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 18 (3):606-607 (1995)
Abstract
In terms of physics, mass is the fixed attribute of an object while weight varies with the accelerative force. Neither weight nor mass are simple sensory stimuli as both involve the integration of sensory and motor information with higher cognitive processes. Studies of apparent heaviness yield only vague information about sensorimotor mechanismsMy notes
