Will be initial get this stimulus can refer to it as a modulus stimulus. This stimulus should be regarded as a 10 or 100 or 50 etc. Then he will tell you that he will present you with other stimuli. And remind you just in case you forget. Wanted them to create a number, take this and create a ratio scaling of all the following stimuli. They will then give you numbers that will make sense. Basically give the rating and then you produce a set of numbers and then plot them on the graph.
