We only claim that the way you respond to stimulus (or the way the task is designed) seems to matter, as they lead to differences in the ways these effects are exerted (and quite intuitively tbh). Whatever those differences are need future work.

...or they may be the same thing reflected in different ways. But this does not explain why they would show differences as a function of response type.

...previous response in the other direction, as well as repulsion from the previous stimulus. I understand your reluctance to regard these as independent factors, and I am indifferent to that claim. There may be an overarching principle (or a mechanism) that modulates different sources of attractors

Valid point! It is true that the effects may be confounded towards category centers. It is fortunate in our case that we see the effects across all distances to the reference (at similar magnitudes). Noisy stimuli that can be approximated to a category prototype still show attraction towards the...

...stimulus was presented for 50 ms, indicating that they have distinct modulations. However, these explanations do not *solve* the issue. It is still possible that they are confounded, especially with continuous responses. I would be happy to have your input if you know a way around this!

...correlation before our analysis, but we have a posteriori explanations: Responses and stimuli led to opposing effects with categorical responses, suggesting their independence. With continuous responses, it was only the repulsion from the previous stimulus that reached significance when the...

Of course, I love questions that I can answer! Hopefully these will be among them... It is correct that we used a limited range of stimuli (±30-90) for all conditions. Subjects had to compare those orientations to a fixed one when giving categorical responses. We didn't attempt to tackle the high...

It is curious what causes these differences between response types. More on that in the paper 👆

Relative differences between successive events revealed distinct modulations for response types, suggesting that two mechanisms are at play. We also show several conditions which favor attractive or repulsive effects (again, different for each response type).

We revealed two origins of history effects, from the previous stimulus and response. Whether they exert the same or opposing effects was determined by response type (method of adjustment vs. 2AFC).
