Experimental design. Participants underwent three phases. In the first and third phase (absolute task), electrical stimulation with three different magnitudes were presented randomly intermixed to the back of the hand. Subjects had to make low/medium/high judgments (see experimental procedures for details). In between both phases, participants took part in the adaptive task, where they learned the association between three contexts and three visual cues that predicted with 50% probability either: (1) a high or a medium stimulation; (2) a medium or a low stimulation; or (3) a high or a low stimulation. Participants made a relative low/high judgment (see experimental procedures for details).
